If you don't read articles - why? [View all]
I’ve taken a step back from politics, but I’ve been peeking in the last week and it’s the same thing.
Articles are posted, often with clickbait titles, and sometimes 80+% of the commentary is reacting solely to the headline or snippet in such a way that it is exceedingly clear the actual article was not read.
This is particularly detrimental when the headline or snippet are at odds with what the article actually says. Sometimes the actual information in the article is 180 from the headline. Often, context is omitted, whether unwittingly, lazily, or intentionally.
This is a general Internet behavior. Reddit, FB, Twitter, wherever. People see a headline, go no further, and somehow still have a very . . . boisterous opinion about a thing they haven’t read.
