Hyperbolic and inaccurate?
How about this comparison? An inaccurate tweet referring to a frequent DOJ announcement topic and an 80+ year old historically monumental event that is common knowledge. Hiroshima being bombed again and Epstein report news? Being fooled by one is nothing like being fooled by the other. I agree google is a nice resource to have, but sometimes unnecessarily difficult to navigate recent news. You seem to be better at using it as a resource than many of us. The nice thing about DU is that it helps many of us parse the info, disfino, and misinfo out there. You have proven to be helpful in that respect. I understand the frustration with the misleading nature of clickbait, as it feels like most of the video link titles make me just a little less informed, but how about offering your correction and just being happy you are useful to this community? No need to make broad generalizations about the intellectual fortitude of the rest of us.
