I get that, I had that bad habit in Reddit, too, usually because there were already 40 people picking apart things in the comments section.
But there’s a value to doing it yourself, and leaving it to other people can make that part of you that engages in mental analysis flabby. In this day and age, we often need far MORE critical analysis and primary sources than we’re getting!
That, and oftentimes bad actors scoop up the funny and wrong posts because they know that a joke that implies their opponents are idiots will land better than just a rant, so you have to be careful about not adding fuel to the fire.
I agree that it’s an eyebrow raising title, though that might be the point. Still, you’d think journalists would realize at this point that titles can’t just be provocative in order to be catchy. :/
Yeah i work like 16 hours a day and post while working, fact checking is a rare occurrence for me, I honestly rely on u guys and many others do as well
