Aside from the content, I want to take a moment to appreciate how this has such an informative title!:-)
No doubt. Succinct and accurate with little flair.
The anti-clickbait.
Here, I'll fix it:
Oh no! Jim Jordan loses the Speaker vote for a third time! You won't believe how many hold outs there were!
Followed by 10 paragraphs of SEO ridden, AI generated drivel that buries the answer to the point you give up on finding it
Sums up internet articles in 2023, 95% of which could be less than a paragraph, but need to fluff it up to 6 pages to inlay some ads and get those juicy organic clicks
Tune in at 11 to find out how! ... to access our video on the subject, which points to another webpage, which again links to a video, that again goes to a different story, hey this all seems familiar somehow...? :-P
It's our own damn fault I suppose, for engaging with it and thus not just allowing but outright making/encouraging it to happen.:-(
Not that that excuses them for doing it though:-(.
Ah yes the “insert news org here” special.
How will I know how to react if no one gets slammed?
Or destroyed? I like my mundane news ratcheted up to hyperbolic levels.
Don't worry, like a sitcom laugh track, they will tell you how you are supposed to feel:-).
Dun dun. Dun dun. Dundundundundun...
