Not that the headline isn't accurate. But anytime an article uses loaded words like 'slams' you automatically know it isn't going to report just the facts of what happened, and I usually just don't read articles like that.

As a middle aged man, tell me more about this ear cleaner. Does it do anything for hair?

I don't find that to be a particularly effective heuristic.

If a headline is click bait, you can't really expect the rest of the article to be honest and straightforward either. If that's not convincing enough, you can always find a few websites that rate news sites and see what they have to say about them.

Journalists write articles, editors write headlines. These two roles have different motivations, but it doesnt mean a editor making a clikbait title detracts from a reporter's journalist integrity.

Reporting can 100% be clean and fair even with bad headlines.

Not when most people just read the headlines, and the headlines are often biased and misleading

People's habits have nothing to do with a journalist's quailty of work. A fine article not read is still a fine article.

criitz@reddthat.com · 1 pts · 2y

A fine article is less likely to have a clickbait headline than a clickbait article is. So it's a decent correlation.

"Reporting can 100% be clean and fair even with bad headlines."

This is the part I disagree with. People are very often misled by bogus clickbait headlines.

tate@lemmy.sdf.org · 11 pts · 2y

This article was pretty much exactly what its headline said. It is mostly extensive quotes from Shawn Fain, which could aptly be described as "slamming" Trump.

The Detroit free press went with this headline: ‘Let me be blunt’: UAW VP for GM has strong words about Trump’s visit to Michigan

Look at this guy who missed the absolute beatdown the UAW president put on Trump. Ran up on stage mid event and hit Trump with a clean double leg takedown

There’s something poetic about you randomly commenting this truthy-sounding rant on an article that it’s completely false about

NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

You're free to believe what you want. But you're also wrong.

prole@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 2y

I generally agree, but I'm not sure "slams" is really that bad. It's when you see shit like "eviscerates," or "destroys".

Saneless@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

"UAW president literally destroys Trump..."

twistypencil@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Tbh, that headline tracks, the guy did slam him

The truth is that donnie has and always been a fake populist.
