...that makes its posters into bots who simply post a lazy headline and a link to a random story, with little or no effort at providing background or context.

That would almost be an improvement.
Am just asking for some narrative and context, I'm sure we're not all too lazy for that.

An area in Seattle was turned into an autonomous zone when police HQ’s moved out overnight after demonstrations. It was pretty big news. I mean, it wasn’t as big news as Primark reopening of course...

Of course, perhaps there is a clearly wrong assumption that people are able to read a story and make their own mind up about it, without having to have it passed through the prism of somebody else's opinions (depending on the source, of course, it will have passed through several other prisms already. That's why an unbiased organisation like the BBC is always going to be the best source. Sadly there aren't many others).

I think it is a question of provenance. What is the quality of the link? Does it lead to a well researched article? That is balanced and well written, covering a wide range of viewpoints.
I once posted, I think in response to one of Glassers diatribes, a link to a PressTV article on an assumption that it was an American news outlet that had provided me a knock down argument. It was either Steve_M or Guthers who pointed out to me that PressTV is a propaganda organ of the Iranian government. I have had a few embarrassing moments on this forum but I rate that one in the top three. (Yes, I am reading the Wikipedia page on Medium.com - interesting).

There you go, a little context, that wasn't so hard was it.

Have you got a link for that?

A little background / context is always a good thing.

I didn't have you down as someone with an inferiority complex mr - they're just interesting links that people might not have come accross yet. If you knew it already, don't click, silly!
Has anyone ever looked at their own postings for last day or so? Oh my... so sorry. Was Ullaa

Fancy posting a link to a dodgy website in response to Guido_Blue!
