Headlines are designed to get you to click. They aren’t designed to inform. If people don’t like how headlines are designed, they should find other news sources
How do you report on an email implying that Vladimir Putin has photo evidence of the President of the United States fellating someone without sounding sensationalist? What words would make that not sound like satire?
Yeah those are are still pretty sensationalist, and that’s with leaving out the bulk of the content. How do you divulge the content without sounding like satire? Anyone can make a crazy story sound sane by just not telling the crazy parts. You gotta tell the crazy parts too.
A foreign leader has blackmail in the US President, that’s sensational no matter how you slice it.
And you ignored the important part. How do you word reporting the content of the reported photos? How do you say that the alleged photo is of the president blowing someone without sounding like satire?
I don’t think anything about the situation is it all satire. It doesn’t feel like satire. It does not seem extreme. It seems like shit that just happens on a daily basis. One person has dirt on another person.
What you keep forgetting is that this is being delivered in such a way to cause an extreme reaction. Trump sucks Bubba is quite the headline.
What we are really talking about is that most people prefer the extreme headline, and that’s why those extreme headlines exist. Would you click on An article that had the headline that I created—or would you click on an article that said Trump accused of sucking Bill Clinton’s dick?
I think we both know the answer: we both would definitely click on that extreme headline.

The complaint here is not that the headline is misleading; the complaint here is that the headline is true and reality is fucked.
The headlines are specifically designed with words that make people panic. The same things can be said without doing that and still express concern.
You just want to disagree with me. But that’s okay, I have all day and I’ll die on this hill.
Okay, we have moved passed the headline in this part of the conversation.
What we are saying is the reality behind the headlines is nearly indistinguishable from satire.
You can die on whatever hill you want, but that’s not he hill we are even talking about.

I believe those are very bland headlines. If you think those are sensational, then I think the problem is not the headline.
