There’s been a term for a handsome guy who readily attracts lots of girls, but he may in fact be quite shallow … a chick magnet.

You mentioned in your write-up a magnet for clicks, so in the same vein as the chick magnet, we should just call these saccharine and shallow news stories click magnets, similar to clickbait.

Just another example of "fakenews" that, if nothing else continues to undermine the already abysmal trust in legacy, "Drive Bye" media. I'm thinking that's a good thing at this point since essentially nothing they say regarding anything political can be believed, which is to say pretty much everything.

Of course, there's a trap in that thinking as well. If we don't believe anything bad about the people we support, we're just as wrong with our knowledge. It takes effort to figure it out, though.
