Don’t you hate it when you see an article with a headline that suggests something rather outrageous (pertaining, to say, some policy), then when you read the story it’s actually a rather reasonable policy?
It makes it so you just can’t trust outrageous headlines anymore. And you have to read the article. Suck.

If it was not for OUTRAGEOUS headlines my site would have 50% less readers.
Yes, I hate it very much, and I’ve correspondingly grown to hate for-profit news because they do this so often. I have actually been at the point for a few years now where, when I read a headline that seems outrageous, I automatically assume that if I read the article, it will be something far more reasonable than the headline makes it appear.
And I have to say that unfortunately, some of the Christian and especially some of the pro-life sources that I read are very, very guilty of this. They do it because it works, but I’m always disappointed.
There’s really nothing new about this.

As a general rule, if the link points to a .uk website, I won’t click on it.
