Spewing BS to real in viewers. I deal with it knowing in a day or so the story will be more accurate. But right wingers still hold onto those fake headlines for months in blogs, FB,and Twitter postings. Even though the stories have been debunked months ago. That's the part that makes me sick.

and my response to the clickbait bullshit on Huffpost didn't stay up very long. I don't think they liked me comparing their headline writers to Michael Bay.

I kind of felt bad for insulting Michael Bay after writing it but then I saw a trailer for Transformers IV or whatever and got over it.
