The Aug. 6 online headline reads: “Amherst couple captures bobcat making house call to downtown home.” I was curious to read about this couple trapping a wild bobcat, so I read on. Turns out there was no capture except for two photos the couple took. So, technically, I suppose they did “capture” a photo or two, but no actual capturing. Come on please, dear editors. Please don’t stoop to this level just to get a few more clicks on an article. In the long run, this type of clickbaiting only serves to further discredit the public’s trust in journalism. It’s already as bad as we’ve ever seen it and you just contributed to making it worse.
