Like many of y'all, I read a fair number of Lefty websites
and there’s one thing that is beginning to really irk me
I’m gonna preface this by saying that I understand that the poster/author/commentator makes money based upon the number of people who click onto the site. That being said, I find it increasingly annoying when the headlines are such verbiage as: TRUMP HAS COMPLETE MELTDOWN or THE WHITE HOUSE IN COMPLETE PANIC or TRUMP SCREAMS AT REPORTER WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT EPSTEIN LIST.
Then, when you watch the video, after the individual leads with variations of the headline, followed by the rationale and entreaties to “leave a like”, subscribe, and how incredibly important it is to him or her and “will go a long way in maintaining this level of discourse”, video is shown which in no manner reflects a meltdown, panic, or screaming.
All of you know how I feel about this miscreant/criminal so you know that I’m not sugarcoating his lies and outright treasonous behavior, but the commentators are undermining their own credibility by basically presenting a carrot and not delivering, in many cases not even close.
Some of you may disagree with me and I understand that, but after a while I would suggest that many disappointed readers might stop clicking on the site because it isn’t delivering the equivalent of what the RW clickbait columns do deliver, albeit they are constituted mostly of lies and hysteria/poutrage. My assertion is that the authors on our righteous side should utilize language that accurately describes the content.
