One simple but revolutionary pledge we can all make: Don't react to an article you haven't read. Especially if you are being told that it's an outrage based on snippets.
Before you bash someone, you owe them the courtesy of knowing what they actually said, not what you heard on a grapevine.

Guess what happened?
Not even my friends and family read a single article but would rage on the source or headline. Its futile.

Just....no. Don't turn this place into a hellhole.
Anyone who uses "but the headline!" as a fallback excuse when you've been called out for a bad faith attack on an article is being an asshole.
Just read before responding. It makes 95% of these problems go away.
you can slam them for the headline by itself without making things up about the article
If you have time to post, you have time to read. It's like putting on a condom before sex. Do it for yourself and the community.
