    Ya. I hate the headlines that say “mentioned” since there are hundreds of uninteresting people “mentioned” because they were brought up in a mundane email about unrelated stuff. Podcasters have been “mentioned” because someone listened to their podcast.

    This dilutes the impact of hearing a name that truly is implicated. It almost feels on purpose that they want to numb us to these headlines.

      Yeah, but OP’s only interest is a ‘Canada bad’ post. A misleading but bold headline is perfect for their propaganda despite the content being a nothing burger.
