You've got to be kidding me.

I saw this headline on the Yahoo! home page. I didn't click on the article.

The shock value of journalism. 

I understand that some young (probably) reporter did his research for this article, BUT - Do you really think most people would want to read it? I just couldn't. Would you read it? Do you think the attention-grabbing headline will draw readers in? Or will it have the opposite effect? 

* I mean this to be a discussion about journalism, not ISIS*

Yahoo is the equivalent of the Enquirer.

I didn't read it, but it's probably a "negative" news release from some campaign....................

I have not read that article,  The journalism profession as it once was does not seem to exist any longer. It appears to have become a 'gotcha', expose', and bend the truth group. This must be very sad for those who were, or are, in this profession and practice honorably.

Journalism has become a circus, a magic act and a fraud. They all have an agenda, reporting truth has become hard for them.

i think it's a little sick saying that just to get readers.

That's just - no words.

A friend sends me their political "reports" way too often although I've told her most of what she sends doesn't pass the smell test.  A quick Google of their facts shows how insubstantial they are.  Sadly, facts no longer matter much in this country.

So,, some Yahoo (haha) reporter interviewed ISIS members to gather this information?

hahahaha

ISIS doesn't get to vote in our presidential election.
