    Clickbaity, sure. But this is one of the justifiable clickbaity times. They said the meat of the article, while clickbait, that was the essence of the problem. “I’ll give you a child.” That’s the issue. It doesn’t really matter if he’s randomly setting his sights on her, or if she said she was childless. That part does not matter. They could’ve left everything out but the quote. The part that does matter, is he said he’ll give her a child without being asked.

    You agree it’s a terrible thing for him to say. Is it less terrible for him to say it because she signed as childless? No? Then context does not matter. Yes, it’s less terrible because she said it? Well, then there’s the hiccup as we disagree on that part and we’ll disagree on the context, too.

      Not for me. I think it has to do with the type of journalism I am accustomed to read, maybe. Then there is the issue of the website where this comes from, I don’t know who they aim to as their readers. It’s possible that it is focused on reporting about famous people or “stars” as they call them, and in this case, it’s totally fine. I appreciate your point of view, though.

      Oh, and yes, I agree the guy said horrible things to Swift. That’s not a discussion for me. Where those words came from is important for me to know, and that bit of information would have been appreciated.
