It's all I do, headlines represent the article Most of the time, sometimes I will very briefly click and skim Part of the time, but I usually at least skim it to see if it as merit Some of the time, but most times I will read a lot of the article Rarely or never, you need to check sources to have an informed discussion How often do you only read an article headline before having a discussion about the article? - Results (10 votes) It's all I do, headlines represent the article 20% (2 votes) 2 Most of the time, sometimes I will very briefly click and skim 10% (1 vote) 1 Part of the time, but I usually at least skim it to see if it as merit 10% (1 vote) 1 Some of the time, but most times I will read a lot of the article 30% (3 votes) 3 Rarely or never, you need to check sources to have an informed discussion 30% (3 votes) 3 And you can further clarify based on if the headline goes against your current beliefs or not. So like if it's somebody you don't like or a headline you don't agree with do you dismiss it as nonsense without reading the article, or are those the cases you are more likely to read? Or is it that if the headline affirms your current beliefs, you are more likely to read the article because it's going to point to evidence that validates you, or more likely to skip it because it's telling you stuff you already know? Really you can answer the question in whatever way feels best for you. I ask because I've seen some topics here where it very much seemed like people only read the headline. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori http://i.imgur.com/TheGsZ9.gif <cite>joe40001 posted [p:973161061] in If you are...
