14. IHIP News uses a lot of clickbait headlines

Mon Feb 23, 2026, 08:04 PM

Monday

but the content within the video is still high quality. I followed a small time Youtube channel and she toward the end was doing the opposite of clickbait by numbering the titles giving episode # but that person hasn't posted since the 2024 election.

As far as reliable news sources do you even know who is in charge of news stations like CBS or CNN? We have a consolidated media that leans right it isn't what it used to be. One of the people I follow Taylor Lorenz actually used to work for the Washington Post. I'll stick with following Independent news & opinion despite what tactics they have to do for ad revenue.
