Energy News Headlines

Recommended Posts

have you noticed how a lot of news stories these days are simply stating the obvious. Examples from the last two days include jewels like "Rising oil prices bad for US households: Economist" and numerous variations on the theme "Iran sanctions will drive oil prices higher". What's the deal with stating the obvious and passing it off as news?

The news isn't about news anymore--for quite some time already. It's about volume and headlines that drive traffic to website for advertising revenue.

Yesterday i saw a clickbait headline from the BBC. Every other headline on the topic was better than theirs. So depressing.
