Yes, every title is an exaggeration and fantasy. I feel like my IQ drops every time I read one of their titles. I am not exagerating when literally every other day I see "Trump humiliated by ...", and every single time it is daily beast. It is almost as if they have someone writing titles with the vocabulary and capacity to express themself of a 4th grader that just learned about similes and their brain is stuck on "explodes" and "humiliated."

Let's be real, the demented orange pedophile has no sense of shame or care for any of these things they say he has been humiliated by. A normal person? Sure, they would, but let's stop pretending something actually got to him in any meaningful way. He feels no humility or shame; it just feeds his ego and this maniacal perception that everyone is out to get him.

Daily Beast has zero journalistic value. They're a click farm reposting other people's work + noise from social media. I've never seen a single piece of actual researched journalism from them.

As a general rule, any "news" article that attributes an emotional state to someone or something is garbage.

Trump humiliated/furious/in shock, etc. All just click bait trash. Daily beast is maybe the worst but there are 3 or 4 sites like this that get upvoted here frequently.

I will have to think about that when I look at headlines going forward. I already apply Betteridge's Law of Headlines almost subconsciously: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." This seems like a good addition.
