Now now we must add any kind of rational examination to these things.

I forgot that reality isn't canon in the WaPo multiverse.

Sounds like a click bait opinion piece to me.

I read the article because certain writing partners of mine are slacking.

It is pure drivel, he doesn't even pretend to cite any statistics, just makes a few off handed comments to veterans returning home and being down on Middle Easterners, throws in an attack on Trump and then moves on.

Sounds about right.

Gotta love some classic clickbait. Frankly though, the Daily Mail is the master of clickbait.

I'm pretty certain the world would be better off without clickbait.

I am not sure how that sounded like a reasonable or rational response to a non-existent issue. The man's name is Robert Lee, which is but only, and at the same time, entirely his name. There is no mistaking him for Robert E. Lee a Confederate general who died near one-hundred-fifty years ago. If someone takes offense at that coincidence, I would almost dare say they deserve to be offended. I had heard about the meaningless gesture to avoid "controversy", but I had hoped it wasn't true. Color me none surprised that it is reality at this point.

Yeah Journalists huh? Who do they think they are? Going out there and reporting on stuff, the nerve.

Yes, because this is the hard hitting news the public needs to know about. We were all so worried about the President of the United States retweeting memes and their scientific inaccuracies. Where would we have been as a society if we did not know Trump received two scoops of ice cream? I can only imagine the mental anguish we would suffer for this travesty if we thought him eclipsing President Obama was based on fact! Who would dare do such a thing, going on the internet and spreading lies?

I think the American public has pretty clearly shown they dont have an interest in hard hitting news. You have to put a certain amount of 'Trump is a moron'/'Hillary murdered a thousand people in Benghazi via email' just to keep the doors open.

I think it's got to do with the monetization factor. I'm certain people would buy hard hitting news, but why sell one piece of hard hitting news when you could sell 5 pieces of Trump being dumb?

I would have to disagree with the "You have to put a certain amount of..." as I would much rather have fewer news agencies, reporters and journalists if it meant they were more accurate and actually cared about their work, rather than pushing trash, sensationalism, artificial narrative and yellow journalism. Then again, I trust nothing of the media as it is, so accomplishing such a thing, if it were even possible at this point, is unlikely to sway my personal opinion. It just always is a wonder to see things as the above or this or even this.
