I have a very simple policy when dealing in “news” (read: propaganda) sites: If the headline asks a question, I pass it over. Why? Because I read these sites for information, not to answer their questions. When they have a question as their headline, they’re grifting, using the (faux-)“authority” of their voice to pass speculation off as reportage … while plausibly denying that they are doing that.

(P.S. Exclamation points in headlines are highly suspect as well.)
