One added comment: I like Meidas Touch, but they need to reign in the hyperbole. The Pope was not furious.

is what sells these internet news mags. They correctly reported the story but the headline was deceptive and purposely written that way to attract more readers. IMO this type of reporting damages their credibility.

Bold yellow lettering and a pile of exclamation points is a hard no.

One poster puts up the DEMISE OF RUSSIA!!!!!!!! Just about every day since the invasion of Ukraine.

Sadly, it must attract a lot of readers. To me it just looks trashy.
