You Do Have To Wonder.

About who comes up with some of these headlines / statements/ forecasts of these newspaper, I was always under the impression you needed a high level of education.
After just turning my computer on, the homepage was showing a Daily mail headline. Quote, Britain will be (HIT) by rain, as warning is issued for thunderstorms. Do they really get paid for producing this rubbish. I mean after all we don't see much rain do we.

Well, I don't have any time for the Daily Fail, but you appear to be complaining about them doing the weather forecast.

Are you familiar with that Grandpa Simpson "Old man yells at cloud" meme?

[teacake44]

Well it is a kind of weather forecast, but when they make it a main frame on your homepage, you got to wonder, and think they must be stuck for any real shocking news.

It's the modern world.

Headlines are now called click bait.

I often wonder

[royfromaus]

what ABers

[royfromaus]

think is actually a newsworthy item.

[Gromit]

Can’t see a problem with it.

If the DM has weather on its front page, must mean we are all bored with Afghanistan.

So I put https://www.dailymail.co.uk in my search bar.

I'm not sure what you are on about, the DM page doesnt seem to have the weather or is it something set on your browser?

Remember the DM, and some similar 'free' news sites rely heavily on advertising, as does AB. They often write headlines so you will click on them so they gain advertising revenue. So called clickbait.

I suspect the DM also use interns and not just UK ones judging by the spelling used (US), This also leads to some odd headlines.
