As an avid news consumer, one of the things I hate most is misleading clickbait titles that often are counter to the content in the article themselves -- and let's face it, in today's world a lot of people read headlines and not the rest...

Have you any thoughts if there is a technological remedy, similar to truthbot.org, or any other solution that is feasible? like maybe a way to hover over titles and be displayed user submitted and rated headlines, or something even better?

Right, but at what cost. I think a lot of media companies today are being very short-sighted -- especially in today's climate where people are already skeptical as is.

I wonder if news media aren't risking complete alienation when enough people have just decided that media is just a brainwashing mechanism and stop consuming mainstream media altogether -- that's if there is a more appealing alternative.

or the scarier alternative is that we just accept it and start unconsciously consuming news as an echo box to reaffirm our own views, which causes us to pick sides rather than ideals.

I've installed truthbot.org.. it does look a bit rudimentary at the moment, but I think what you are trying to achieve is actually quite monumental if it can be brought to full functionality --

If there's anything we can do to help, please let us know..good luck!!
