Conservative Brief isn't even trying with their clickbait anymore

I don't read Conservative Brief because it is the BuzzFeed of conservative "news." Their pieces are almost entirely op-ed's and their method of luring people into their articles involve almost entirely lies or at the best, intentionally misleading headlines.

Once you do click on the article, if you read just a little bit you realize that you have been duped by a picture and some words that don't really have a great deal to do with the headline in question.

So what can we honestly take away from this headline and the pictures.

It appears as though 2 members of "the Squad" got into some sort of issue with Speaker Johnson and then Johnson somehow got removed from something, right? The look of AOC and Tlaib clutching one another might not even be a real photo for all we know and I don't care enough about this or Conservative Brief to even do a reverse image lookup on it.

In a shell what really happened was some minor House member who is probably doing this on purpose to get some light shined on him, grandstanding if you will, said some defamatory things about Tlaib suggesting that she is aligned with Hezbollah and Tlaib of course didn't respond so well to this. She invoked some sort of rule that exists in Congress to have the other Rep's words stricken from the record and subsequently he was not allowed to speak for the rest of the day. Speaker Johnson had virtually nothing to do with it other than serving in his position of Speaker of the House. Johnson was not removed from anything and this is very far from a "Bombshell" as they say. That word gets used by them so frequently by CB that it has lost all meaning, if it even ever had any.

As if often the case with Conservative Brief, they have a slightly more honest headline that differs from the clickbait, but it still isn't honest because it features a picture of Speaker Johnson and AOC as well, both of whom were not involved in this situation at all.

This isn't "madness" as they say in the clickbait, but rather just our elected officials acting once again like petulant children in an effort to get their names in the news. Once again, their actions are completely self-serving and wastes a bunch of everyone's time and of course, money.

Personally, I dislike almost all of our elected officials nearly as much as I dislike the dishonest media that covers them.

I can't really imagine what financial incentive Conservative Brief has in lying like this but they do it all the time. I suspect they are not really interested in actually making money and instead are in the business of attempting to alter public opinion.

Unfortunately, I think that for a lot of people it actually works too.

Don't be a fool. If you see a news story I think it is a good idea to simply assume that you are being lied to, because most of the time, that is exactly what is happening.
