It's only a couple of years back that I liked to stretch out in the mornings with a coffee and read theAge online, then click onto WAToday for the local colour...
but you can't do that anymore without the serious risk of throwing hot coals in your own eyes or similar... it's mind searingly dumb. As Shane said, they know click bait. Boy, do they know clickbait. If Hackdorn's made it into their pages then I'll call that confirmation bias in action and suggest they're master clickbaiters of the highest order.
That sort of rubbish being published with such frequency suggests a couple of things, though. One, things aren't quite right and something's been the catalyst for the stories, and two... a really professional footy club would act quickly and decisively to shut it down and clear the air.
Far be it for me to leap to conclusions... hang on, it's the Olympics, it's Leaping Season so here goes; the answer to the first is the question in the second. Or, as a wise man said just last week, the club's so far up its own arse that this is the new normal.
