Oh please - so a common editorial practice to use a time worn phrase that is common parlance to grab attention and get folks to read NOW becomes some type of *unfortunate but usual NCR tactic*.  Please, every new organizations follows these internal rules (some news organizations ONLY sensationalize and do this with no substantive or actual documentation or facts - think EWTN, Fox News, Breitbart, etc.)

Too quick - really - in your slanted opinion, only.  Click counts - ah, yes, the dreaded click counts.

Yes, putting phrases, headlines, words in quotations is the acceptable practice (guess it is wrong only if NCR does it).  Talk about a double standard.
 
But, agree, "humiliation is a necessary part of growing in humility, whether it's an individual or news site"
Glad to see that you realize your humiliation as a necessary part of your need to grow in humility.  Does that mean we will see fewer posts from you or more balanced posts?  No hope for the likes of Fox, EWTN, etc.
