That's journalism these days. Like the article about Saturn's Rings disappearing. Small print at the end, in 100 Million Years. But hey that doesn't generate clicks.

Yeah, I miss the good old days when articles didn't have attention grabbing headlines enticing you to read the article, instead just had flat paragraphs of text with nothing but facts.

Wait, no. This is how news has been written since the dawn of the printing press...
