Now we need Huffington Post and Buzzfeed to crash and burn so we can get back to not having every tiny facet of our lives scrutinized by the Politically-Correct Police™ and their cheap clickbait bullshit.

Add Feminist Frequency to the list and I'll agree with you.

All this really does is set the precedent for where exactly the line they've been toeing for years is. Clickbait won't be going anywhere with how successful yellow journalism has always been.

Who jokes about child porn under oath?

That was the cringiest part of the whole deal. These people don't just create clickbait, they THINK clickbait. Controversy is their worldview, but now real life has struck them up their butts.

This kind of crap has existed for long before the Internet, I believe that called it the Supermarket Tabloids.

Good riddance to crappy journalism.

Sadly, they'll just be replaced by a dozen others equally as awful click-bait juggernauts. It sells and is more disturbing as being a symptom than a cause with a society that has large numbers of people who just totally give into it.
