When Raw Story Ends a Headline with a Colon, a space, and "Report"

[MineralMan]

What that means is that someone said some shit and Raw Story is repeating it to you and also commenting on what that might mean.

It has nothing to do with the veracity of what the headline says. It just means that someone "reported" that someone said or did something. Whether that something is true or not, the person in the Raw Story byline doesn't know. But someone "reported" it and it will surely get clicks.

There's nothing wrong with Raw Story doing that, but you have to understand what their headline codes mean.

So, if you see a headline in Raw Story that says - Trump in Critical Condition: Report, read very carefully. It doesn't mean that he's about to die. It might just mean that he's been criticizing someone. Check the story carefully.

1. Raw Story is a waste of electrons. Pure clickbait.

2. Yes.

Pretty much.

At a minimum, it needs to be fact checked. I don't use it, but it shows up on DU often.
