Another of many Gripes
Seems like every "Media Source" available today has become "clickbait" for paid subscriptions. I don't think I have read an article about an interesting item, technique, task shortcut, happening, etc... that doesn't leave you with insufficient information and a closing line: "Go to Diddly-doo Nation" to get the full story. No, I won't. Just cut the cable last month for a $140/mo savings which was the sweetest way to give the cable company my opinion about their "content" or more correctly, lack thereof. I'm on the "No Target ( who runs a department store without a real sporting goods dept?), No Bud Light" (well, I wouldn't drink it if'n I did) Bus. I approve of it's "influence." Joe

Google is my friend.
"Clickbait with interesting text"
Copy the text and ask GOOGLE.
Most times I will find copies of the story at different free sites.

Bekeart,
That's a good start, but when I recently heard of Elon Musk's reasonable remarks about George Soros, I Googled the two names together and, with one possible exception, got a lot of lamestream media complaints about anti-Semitism, nothing about George Soros.
Caveat emptor!

News media outlets are struggling to make money, especially with the significant circulation reduction in newspapers. News reporting has always been about making somebody money, how they go about it has gone through a costly transformation in the computer age.
