But because it's all opinion, it gives me nothing except "some guy on the the internet has an opinion". I can't do anything with it, especially not form an opinion of my own. It's just a waste of my time. Mind you, I already am of the opinion that Tesla is going to shit but I found very little in this article to substantiate that opinion should I need to argue for it myself, and the headline is just a plain out lie that that has no basis in the body text. It's poorly written at best, and intentionally misleading at worst.

This is old web journalism. All the links in the text are actual links to other articles or pieces of information. This is how most news articles were in the 90s and early 2k. Y'know, before all the links in the text turned into ad links. This article gives a jumping off point to find out more info. The opinion piece does nothing but attract attention to the information linked within.

We're all here talking about it so it seems to have worked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All media is biased despite some of it trying to be objective or parading a facade of objectivity. The nice part about obviously bias articles is that their bias is obvious, you don't need to read between the lines.

If that means you feel it's a waste of time to read, then you find out it's a waste of your time faster and can move on.
