Jeff Jarvis: "Utter bullshit. Snippets in search are NOT content. Jeesh. They are links TO the publishers. Google does not monetize Google News. When it makes money on news it's by serving ads ON publishers' sites."

Somewhat related, I really wish HN had a "bullshit" tagging option. In my mind there is so much copious bullshit flying around these days, and that the concept is different enough from just "flag" or a downvote, that it deserves it's own callout.

One can argue that these days title of an article is all that article is. Many people don't read body of the article at all

It's not a "fake news article." It's a real article in a major publication that is worthy of discussion.
