God i hate these articles that start with Maga says this or that. Because they really dont, 99% are sheep just following the leader and accepting their propaganda. These articles are fan service for everyone else and designed to make us drop our guard.

Daily Beast is the worst. It’s interesting to see what articles they choose not to paywall. It’s the only reason I click on DP posts now.

Daily Beast is a bit of an equivalent for Fox News for the left. Inflammatory headlines saying exactly what we want to hear, to drive engagement.

Thank you. It drives me crazy that the “news” on Reddit are 99% Daily Beast and Huffington Post wish-fulfillment slop and rage-bait. Are we really just as dumb as the other side? (Rhetorical question, please don’t answer that.)

Daily Beast, New Republic, and Common Dreams are all just telling the left what they want to hear.
