[02:31:07] <upstart> ^ 03Error
[02:31:14] <takyon> Forbes links are scriptwalled and the headline is not neutral
[02:32:05] <mrpg> hmmm
[02:32:15] <Bytram> hobby lobby @ 2017/07/07 11:55:00
[02:32:37] <Bytram> clicky
[02:32:59] <takyon> I don't even get why people (Fnord666) submit forbes links. Do they not use noscript?
[02:33:07] <mrpg> there are more sources, businessinsider.
[02:33:25] <mrpg> i am of the same opinion
[02:33:28] <Bytram> takyon: agreed on story tone... was debating whether it was too off-kilter or would just stimulate discussion... OTOH, forgot that Forbes sites are a PITA
[02:33:49] <Bytram> marking non-display for now.

[02:35:18] <Bytram> just found that link -- checking it nwo
[02:35:22] <Bytram> *now
[02:35:30] <takyon> cool
[02:36:00] <takyon> I don't think I've seen a single realDonaldTrump submission that should run, with the possible exception of the fidget spinner one
[02:36:23] <takyon> and maybe I'll sub an article about the Trump-Putin meeting after it happens
[02:36:26] <Bytram> well, even THAT one, IIRC, was just a single spinner that caught fire
[02:36:28] <takyon> just to keep our President happy
[02:37:52] <mrpg> hehe
[02:38:28] <mrpg> Should REUTERS be in italic? I think not https://wiki.soylentnews.org
[02:38:29] <upstart> ^ 03Story Style - SoylentNews ( https://wiki.soylentnews.org )
[02:39:11] <Bytram> not sure... as I recall, it came in that way
[02:39:13] <takyon> I usually just keep whatever italicization the source site uses and italicize book/movie titles in the summary. I don't bother anybody who does differently though
[02:39:36] <Bytram> maybe replace REUTERS w/ <em>The New York Times</em> ??
[02:40:22] <takyon> where
[02:40:24] <Bytram> takyon++ I make one exception, I generally try and italicize titles of publications as their
[02:40:25] <Bender> karma - takyon: 53
[02:40:41] <Bytram> names w/o italics often cause my brain to have parsing errors
[02:41:02] <Bytram> okay... I'm still trying to sort out tesla.. one fire at a time.
[02:41:21] <takyon> I think you meant forbes not ROOTERS
[02:41:40] <Bytram> I thnk I should be in bed
[02:41:47] <Bytram> umm, sleeping, that is.
[02:42:28] <Bytram> this definitely seems to be a more balanced article: https://www.cnet.com

[02:42:52] <Bytram> Is nearly 90 F and 60% humidty -- I needs to take a break
[02:42:54] <takyon> I blame the Forbes headline on their clickbait nature
