>>All newsmedia is becoming “click bait”.<<
Yep.
In fact, “chasing clicks” is seriously exacerbating an already bad problem.
For instance, NBC news maintains a huge updating board at their HQ that shows which stories are receiving the most attention (clicks) on the internet.
Of course, the most popular articles at NBC are rabidly anti-Trump. So now an already ideologically dishonest “news” organization has a substantial financial interest to become even more dishonest. It becomes self-perpetuating.
Bad stuff ahead people. Truth and honesty in the media, an absolute per-requisite for intelligent self-government, have no chance in this environment.

That is kind of funny they cater their coverage according to the clicks. I say that because no person in their right mind would go to a news source like NBC News online to get their news.
That just tells me they are building a huge bubble of lies that will eventually burst once all the truth gets out. Getting the truth out is already started with the Soros investigation. When these news er propaganda outlets go down, they will go down hard and that's fine by me, LOL.
