Reply to comment by Embarrassed_Union_96 in Connecticut Democratic official sentenced for ballot fraud by Hopeann

I stand by the clickbait claim. The article content seems factual. The title, however, is deliberately vague.

You can’t claim it’s deliberately vague. By what you’ve said, you wish they added more details because of the times we live in. However, even without those details, the title says what happened.

I understand the feeling tho.

What happened… seven years ago. I think the year is extremely relevant and important to include in our current climate. But then people wouldn’t click the article as much, nor would this post have any comments.

He was sentenced like three days ago. It’s still contemporary news.

Sure. And that’s why there’s an article on it. But the year it took place is essential information.

Listen, I’m not changing my mind that the article and post are clickbait capitalizing on the extreme political climate. So we’re wasting our time here. Have a good day.

The claim lacks substance. Recent sentence. Recent article. Timely post. Sounds like you prefer some BBC.
