Interesting Bluesky discussion about misleading articles about Democrats [View all]

I genuinely don't think what Dem leaders actually SAY has any effect on how media outlets will purposefully word their headlines to get Dem rageclicks.

It's really disgusting how they do that. I think news organizations have a duty to have accurate headlines and articles. I've also heard theories that Biden was somewhat sabotaged because some in the media were upset because he was having a "boring" administration but I'll admit this claim leans more towards conjuncture rather than hard fact. I do sure miss the "boring" administration I sometimes wish politics was really boring, just running well and you don't even have to think about it every day unless you want to.

Also I should note that it's not just the headline that's missing saying "everything is on the table". I also read the entire article and didn't see them say that anywhere in the article.
