BREAKING: “Bombshell” to stop being used to indicate “bombshells”!!

Yeah, they should. I understand that once someone’s income is dependent on it, there’s a tendency to want to get more eyeballs, both to get the info out and to grow, but an honest, grassroots news reporting ecosystem would probably do well to keep the “yellow journalism” / “sensationalism” out of “head lines”.

Over time hopefully we’ll get away from that. Maybe push these people to work on categorizing their info for future digs instead?

Note that the “bombshell” from brain_dead was just a repost of the top line from @CharliesVoiceRising
