oh, I believe you. not intended to be directed at you specifically.
Not using news sites that use these headlines might be an alternative
This was the only site that specifically mentioned the “Not for sale” part in the headline. And NBC is a pretty big news source, so I’m not going to ignore it just because some folks get a bug up their butts over an overused word.
And I’ve had people yell at me on here for using “clickbait” headlines and tell me to change the headlines to be less “clickbaity” when they didn’t even read the article in the first place and changing titles to not match the headline is against a lot of news comm/magazine rules.
You’re 100% right for not changing the headlines. Thanks for sharing the article.
again, nothing against you posting it. And the fact that it's a big site doesn't matter one bit. It's still a shit headline
