Most outlets make their headlines so understated, you’re baited into clicking on them just to find out what they’re about. Understated headlines are literally clickbait. If Palmer Report’s headlines seem loud in comparison, it’s because we use them to point to the actual story.
Some folks who are new to Palmer Report like to complain about our headlines being too this or too that, because they’re accustomed to the dishonestly understated headlines they see everywhere else. But we’re not going to water down our headlines just to try to fit in.
Every headline we’ve ever run has been justified by the contents of our accompanying article. We don’t owe the complainers anything beyond that.
Palmer Report was created specifically to push back against the mainstream media’s ratings-driven antics, and to push the industry to be more honest. If you find it easer to just believe everything the media tells you and never challenge it, Palmer Report isn’t for you anyway.
So if you’re tempted to send us a ten paragraph email complaining that our headlines are too accurate and not stately-sounding enough, just hit delete and go back to staring at your television instead. There’s nothing we can do to help you.
