Ouch. Now combine inabilitity to read entire articles with the way clickbait works in the real world, where title+perex often times say wildly inaccurate thing to attract you to the actual article, at which point you realize it was basically a lie.

One recent example is where most news sources had a title that some [probably famous] man assualted a woman, yet the only local source had a title where it was clear that both man and the woman were arrested and charged. Google news actually makes this easier to see, because it groups titles from multiple sources into one "story" box.
