    Go to tabloid news outlets that carry stories on the border between partisan spin and full-on conspiracy theories. Take the thesis of a story, add some childish name-calling or something mean-spirited, and condense it into an attention-grabbing one to three line comment.

      "news outlets that carry stories on the border between partisan spin and full-on conspiracy theories"
      That could be the definition of mainstream media today, except they are way past the "border" on partisan spin - there is overwhelming liberal-socialist bias in almost every headline "story" foisted on the audience by mainstream manipulative media.
      The titles of the MSM published "stories" are the most biased propaganda rubbish imaginable.
      That CG is a victim of that MSM brainwashing is evident in this and many other postings - and his repeated votes for Obomba and Hitlery.

        There are differences between tabloid news outlets and the MSM.
        The MSM have better page payout, more attention is given to grammar, color is used more sparingly and with more effect, the ads are of a far higher class and the more frequent ads for the big brands give the reader a sense of comfort, while exclamation marks are used less often messages can be more extreme, after all, they have the biggest legal team, perhaps the major difference is the overwhelming moral posturing supporting progressivist environmentalist causes.
        MSM is better in some respects, there is less religion nowadays (but the religion of peace gets a good run), invasions by space aliens, health scams and miracle cures get the deserved cautious skepticism that is absent in pet topics.
