Is it me or do most of the news sites do that? I'm glad someone else noticed. I thought I was the one being slipped crazy pills while not looking. Breitbart does that a lot. Their titles, their first paragraph, then their second paragraphs are all the same... I know I'm not nuts. Like look at this for example: https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/07/05/white-house-under-pressure-to-ease-coronavirus-travel-bans/

I could have turned their first 3 paragraphs into 1 sentence: [White House under pressure to ease Coronavirus travel bans but will seek help from medical experts from America and Europe.]

Yes, and I hate it. TV has done this a lot for years, which is why I have always preferred to read the news and books for relaxation (generally, the book is always better than the movie or TV adaptation anyway). However, it's becoming more and more frequent with written articles these days. Every time I start reading a junk article that does nothing but repeat the same thing over and over, I think of the Gift Shop Sketch; the repetitiveness is like nails on a chalkboard.

Editor: I need 1000 words on Meghan.

Reporter: Is it ok if they're the same words over and over?
