This was too stupid to be true, yet they ran with it. The MSM is dying, from self-inflicted wounds.
Publish BS that one side of the political aisle wants to hear & they eat it up.
Publish article calling out the first story's BS, and get those on the other side of the political aisle eating it up.
Profit!
EDIT: fixed "aisle" thanks to @imsufferableninja@sh.itjust.works. I know that's the correct word, but I dunno why I didn't think of it when writing this initially. I think my brain's slowly turning to mush as I age.

Great strategy for when consequences are none
Agreed. We've turned into the headline mattering more than the content.
Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Lemmy, etc., there's comments everywhere "did you even read the article?" We're looking for the fastest confirmation bias and it's easy when it's the title.
Fox News and OAN will run with the transgender headline and be quiet at the redaction, the damage is done.
What people are slow to realize is how well the Trump administration is playing this game. The headlines about Trump suing over the 2020 election is all they wanted, people tend to give validity to something that's at the courts, regardless of the verdict.
