I normally pick on liberal outlets for their lazy and untruthful reporting style but alas, conservative outlets, and particularly exclusively conservative outlets just don't really seem to care about whether or not they deliver a quality product. In this instance they didn't seem to even care if they delivered a completed product and honestly, I can't imagine they even have an editor over there because this jumps right out at you even if you aren't trained in the editorial department.

Initially I though perhaps their headlines might have a character limit on them but nope, that is not the case. I looked through a backlog of articles by this same author on the same site and there are many headlines by him and others that are more characters than this.
They simply don't care.
I was an editor for a small college-newspaper when I was attended university. Had I made a mistake this bad I would have been severely reprimanded or perhaps demoted. I wasn't even being paid either. I thought that having this job would propel me into a job in journalism but it didn't. This is something I am very grateful for these days since that sort of profession barely exists anymore.
The article goes on to come to exactly the sort of conclusion that you would expect from a publication that unironically has the word "Conservative" in it. Liberals bad, conservatives angels.
While I personally think that conservatives are generally wrong less frequently than liberals are both in terms of leadership and publication, I do not delude myself into believing that they are always correct. Conservatives and conservative news sources are just as tribal and biased as liberals are. Two sides of the same coin.
If you are reading biased news sources you need to cut that out of your life. You are not informed, you are being intentionally misled. The sooner you can correct this problem in your life the better. I believe you will be happier if you can change that part of your life that all too many people get terribly wrong.
Lack of editors aside, Conservative Brief is a trash publication.
I have started to notice a lot of spelling mistakes, like really bad ones, in some of the news feeds that I look at every now and then. I can't imagine how that happens since even when I am typing this reply it will put red lines under words I misspell. How can an organization whose only job is to write stuff make these mistakes? Maybe nobody reads them and honestly, that wouldn't be a bad thing if true.
I don't think very many people have the attention span to read beyond a paragraph these days and most people get their "news" from an Instagram post a friend of theirs that they already align with politically posts. This is a great way to ensure that the population remains stupid.
It's easy to just tune out these days but there is a shining light at the end of the tunnel and that is the emergence of independent broadcasts such as podcasts and spotify channels. They might not be perfect, as if there was such a thing, but at least they are not beholden to their corporate or advertising masters.
Are you saying that I should not read dumb propaganda?
But how shall I form my dumb believes then?
OMD, my world is collapsing!
haha, perfect. You should read it, but only to make fun of it and to stay on top of the lies. I've gotten to the point that whatever the mass media pushes on us, I believe that the opposite is actually the truth.
I try and stay clear of political nonsense these days because I have seen how they are using Trump's trial to manipulate with the elections to keep him tied up.
Yes indeed. I do think though, that except for the people that are severely blinded by their apparent hatred for Trump no matter what, most people are starting to realize that the system is in fact built to protect the ruling class and that anyone, even extremely wealthy and powerful outsiders like Trump, will be attacked with everything in order to expand and protect their own power.
