I just mean who cares if he thinks he's a "serious" news source? It's obvious he isn't so why does it annoy you so much?

duckbear is a legend. I dont give a single shit what he thinks but his gimmick is entertaining to me, and...ive never seen him with a zero reply topic. he posts his butchered version of the news but it always gets people talking.

i dont like duckbear because i like sensationalist, not fully true news. i like duckbear because he's so over the top.

That's click baiting.

Sensationalism is when the story is not told honestly to make it sound more relevant than it is.

Don't get me wrong, CNN does both.

CNN has gotten the most attention lately but it has happened to all the US tv news stations

They dont have enough actual news stories that interest people so theyve all become political pandering networks that are more about reinforcing ideology than actually reporting on anything

Most folks arent that interested in national weather or local news stories, but theyll tune in every night to hear Sean Hannity or Rachel Maddow talk to them like theyre smart and tell them the other side is a boogeyman that wants to ruin their life.
