Need more gun laws.

That KHON article was the worst thing I've ever read.
It reported on 2 separate incidents 15 miles apart and lumped it into one article.

KHON2 this morning said the chinatown had 3 victims.

Generally speaking, I notice that internet articles are intentionally vague and misleading so people have to click to get the whole story. aka clickbait.
The other clickbait technique is to post a picture of some unrecognizable object so people click on it to find out what it is.
There are other tricks to clicks too.

Sometimes things can be vague because an investigation may get random callers giving info bad or false.  And 1 way to weed out the BSers from legit callers is by not posting all the details.  Example: If someone was killed by a hammer and it left on scene, people call with info but don't know which item was used. But the person who calls and says "i used a hammer" would be now worth listening to.  I learned about this in 1 of my interrogation classes.

But reading HI and mainstream media articles for years now, I'm going to lean more toward lazy reporting as the first person to get the story gets an atta boy pat on the back.  Even though it's a shit piece.

Allow me to pick up and run with that rant ...

I'm getting tired of reading the exact same paragraph 3+ times at a minimum.

The headline will quote a few words of someone's -- whatever you call a Tweet now -- X-post?

Then the "writer" (I'm being generous) tries to provide a context around what the person posted by including a little more of the post while making a poor attempt to paraphrase the content of the post.

Next, they state the exact quote from the person's post.

Then they add a highlight section with the exact same words in bold italics.

And finally they post an image showing the same exact words as they appear on that person's account!

So, after 4 or more paragraphs plus an image, all they've done is repeat the exact same thing 3 times in the body and a 4th time in the headline.

Once they've beat that dead horse as many times as required, they then post responses or other comments about the same issue using the same "style"  -- So-and-so was also angry posting how the thing was bad.  Their post read "The thing was bad."  <insert image of the post saying "The thing was bad.">

After a few additional posts in that same format, I'm ready to comment how stupid this is getting, but then that would just get them more attention and money.

FOX isn't the only one doing it, but they do it every single time I pull up an article on the FOXNews app on my cell.
