More clickbait from Politco

[Marzupialis]

That cesspool of journalism called "Politico" is known for its "clickbait" headlines, that is, short, shocking titles that are tempting but inaccurate.

A few hours ago, an headline leading to an article about whether suspected terrorists should be indefinitely detained looks like this:



But see the tiny letters under the big, bold, clickbaiting headline? Terrorists now become what they really are: people suspected of terrorism, because they have not been tried and because Politico is, as far as I know, not a court of law.

But so what! The rubes clicked and that's the end of the story.

Try to stay away from Politico for reasons other than finding instances of BS "journalism" such as this one.

1. Actually, it is not a bad article (and I am not a fan of Politco)

If people are only suspected terrorists, then why should they be held in indefinite detention?

And certainly the headline supports the Admins assertion that they are terrorists (without the benefit of a trial). Because, if not, why would they insist on holding them indefinitely?
