I started to notice a trend on Mastodon and Lemmy where the person criticize a news source for writing a minimally biased headline.

Sometimes, I even notice a person posting a article on Mastodon to provide commentary, and in the replies you would find a person criticizing the headline for not using loaded words.

Is there is any specific reason for people doing this?

    I’ve mostly seen the exact opposite on lemmy, people (rightfully) calling out clickbait headlines.

      I also observed the same thing as you in non-political communities .

      Sadly, I had never seen it happen in any political community here…
