That whole story about toothbrushes and the way it was regurgitated across all kinds of “news outlets” (I’m using that word sarcastically) just makes me so sad about the state of journalism.
It’s crashed to the level of click/ outrage generating content. That’s all it is now.
And actual journalists doing the actual work are squeezed out by these click bait companies flooding the zone.
@avuko with translation issues thrown in, this one was a bit trickier than most. it passed by a lot of our mental filters because it sounds like a thing that could/will happen.
@binsk I know, and I didn’t pay much attention to it myself, but before I would put it on a “news” website for my work…
I honestly don’t think most online news outlets have a journalist checking what goes on there though: auto-aggregation all the way.
