The deadbird site is now a disinformation machine. It has been reconfigured to get "creators" to push vile -- but clickbait on steroids -- lies that satisfy, enrage, and otherwise push people's emotional buttons.
Some "creators" get paid now, and have a huge incentive to make their disinformation even more clickbait-driven. Hamsters on a wheel that spits out money.
If journalists had an ounce of pride they'd leave.

My father gave me financial advice when I was young. He summed it up by saying "Work and save until your bank balance looks like a phone number."
Dad would be so proud of me. Today, my bank balance hit $4.11.
"For more than a decade, Twitter was an absolutely key resource for understanding major world events and disasters in real time. ...
As numerous information specialists have pointed out in recent days, the platform now offers a forest of disinformation so dense that penetrating it has become extremely difficult."
~Marina Hyde
As long as we construct the world such that super-rich men run things with impunity, this is what we'll get.
Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed.
— Herman Melville

Dear Republicans,
We can't believe this needs to be said...But slavery did not 'benefit' Black Americans and the Holocaust did not did not help make Jews 'useful,' whatever that means.
Despicable.
