I’m always with annoyed the, “Hurry to break news, verify later” approach that seems universally accepted today. Jezebel even had an editorial about how, in summation, the end justifies the means — that is, if you end up being right.

But caution is never bad! You can report a rumor without it becoming official news... there’s a fine line I think.... sure... report on the rumor.. but be clear about it on the title! I don’t care if the first sentence is a disclaimer.... it doesn’t work if you don’t report it on the title, some people only read headlines and while that might be bad... you shouldn’t confuse them.

Clarity doesn’t get clicks. Sad, but that is the world we live in.

But Jalopnik has really good writers! Sometimes I’m amazed that they do this... You can be clear and also get clicks...

It’s funny you say that... Oppo honestly has a lot of integrity... for a blog I must say.

Whenever we post bullshit, it gets refuted quickly!

This post was clear and sensible. Ergo, you do not get a star.

Hey, if free range eggs aren’t murder, then we can have ethical clickbait

So the headline should be:

Tabloid rumor: Grand Tour Will Not be Back for Third Season.

And notice how I put the source first? Everyone is doing it fucking wrong and it bugs!
