This was a fun thread from the other day:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100221367498

It calls out Meidas Touch (and others) for their sensationalized clickbait BS headlines and thumbnails.

It's notable that these progressive sources for news and analysis were able to grow because of their (and our) frustration with MSM and how it monetized everything and provided precious little info, and was repetitive and too brief. In the early days, these content providers were quite good and interesting. They would dig deep and provide thoughtful analysis.

Now they are no different than the MSM sources that they were complaining about. I wonder who will come along to replace the likes of Meidas Touch (and their associated brands... and others like them.)
