Marina Schwarz + 1,576 May 15, 2018 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marina Schwarz + 1,576 May 16, 2018 Yesterday i saw a clickbait headline from the BBC. Every other headline on the topic was better than theirs. So depressing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
