Fox News is BS clickbait pusher now

  • Just look at this thumbnail. Doesn't it suggest that the Expert (left) has a list of foods (right) that will increase your risk of dying from cancer? Various berries, grapefruit, and other whole foods are depicted.

    Makes you wonder, and --gasp-- click through to the article to learn more!
    Of course, the article nowhere suggests that eating fruits will cause cancer. Actually it says the opposite.

    But when Fox News isn't using AI to generate thumbnail images, or images that don't match the text below, they're engaging in low-end clickbait. Like some crappy website with wall-to-wall ads you'd never visit on purpose.

    Seriously Fox News is a step -- a small step -- above CNN when it comes to quality, credibility, and status.

    It's a shame there are no real news websites anymore...
