oh cool. now I can block every trash news article that includes phrases like "blasts", "slams", "says", "should", "could", "might", and "need to".
What's wrong with "says"? But yeah, blasts and slams definitely need to go, lmao
Particularly in politics and news communities, it indicates a "here is what predicts will happen" article. They're not all shit by default, but I'm generally not interested in speculation pieces. I only want to know what actions concretely happened, not what some guy anticipates may happen.
I could see it being used for quotes (or at least paraphrasings), so I can't imagine it being all bad
