AKA clickbait.
There are numerous BS clickbait fake news sites that prey on conservatives with phony stories knowing they will be gobbled up by those who want to believe. The entire purpose is to get advertising clicks.
You can tell by the provocative headline, the BS written story, the fact that no legitimate site repeats the story.
This whole BS news site thing is epidemic on FR.
“I then take the headline, plug it into Bing and see if any of the major news sites are posting it.”
So you let the evilstream misleadia tell you whether a story is true or not?
Those same foul liars who were so eager to report on Monica and the blue dress?
The scumbags who tried to change election results with forged documents?
These vile, mewling servants of Satan are “legitimate sites?”
What are you doing here, trying to lead people down the primrose path?
Most of the pings I received disagree with that but I stand by what I said.
What do you consider a legitimate site? NYT? WaPo?
