Every few days, I will take a screenshot of a certain website and highlight the Things That Are Not News:
-Unlabeled (or hidden) Opinions Disguised As News (UO)
-Clickbait (headlines which reveal little-to-no content until you click them) (CB)
-Misleading Headlines (headlines which are just not telling it straight) (MH)
-Headlines where they quote one or two words but make it seem like the whole line is a quote or like the one word is somehow ‘controversial’ (Q1W or Q2W)
-Other stuff that bothers me
