“Total clickbait crap”

There’s a lot of that going around lately on America’s premiere web-site for conservatives.
Not saying this poster is fishing, but I’ll take the risk of anyone grousing,
“You didn’t read the article?!”
if the poster isn’t willing to qualify their authority with credentials: IOW, why is this `expert’ qualified so that we should give him a click/the time of day ... even just a short bio in the lead.

Colonel Kurtz? Jeffrey MacDonald? Is that you John Wayne? Is it me?
Cover your jimmies, I’m opening gunner’s cage ....

No kidding. We need to moderate that silly crap out of FR.

The titles with words like “this” need to go, such as “This Senator did something you want to know about”, with no information on who the senator is or what they did, just click to find out. Clickbait crap.
