So, let's take a look at the Axios' front page that fits 20 headlines:

4 headlines are about Musk and Twitter, as if this event has any importance to our lives. In any case, there is no need to rehash the same thing four times.

4 headlines are about abortion. Yeah, we know what's happened, you've told us ten times this already. It seems they just need to fill space with something.

2 talk about the Japan's Abe. As if they didn't talk about him yesterday.

Then there's a bunch of cheap space-fillers like "The summer of subvariants" and "Handshakes are back". Trying to resuscitate the corpse of covid. These are budget click baits: mouse traps without the bait. GPT-3 would do a better job.

The style of most content there is a mix of fearmongering, opinion forming, omission of details, and so on. Needless to say, they never ever report the opposite side of things: readers might start thinking, forming their own opinions and we don't want any of that.

Where are the actual news, Axios?
