Sigh - the continued slide into awful "journalism" at the graniud continues.
I know someone has to give all the "new media" graduates a job, but, at least supervise the output!
Here's the thing - there's no money to be gained in "supervising the output". Decency is not profitable. General population apparently doesn't give a damn about quality or reliability of the news (or even if they do, it doesn't seem to affect the profit metrics in any way).
To be fair to the gruan, they are not fussed about profits. They are financed by a trust arrangement, subsidized by other publications they own. They make a huge loss every year.
Hasn't stopped them becoming a kind of glossy magazine for narcissists though. I guess the data showed that buzzfeed was stealing their clicks.
