Yellow journalism now...
Yellow Journalism is a type of journalism that presents little or no legitimate researched news and instead uses amusing headlines to sell more newspapers. Today we still use it but we call it Checkbook Journalism which is the practice of paying someone for a news story. Its kind of the same thing cause that person could have bought it and make little research for that headline. An example of someone using such device is John Reimer who wrote "...marijuana is still the gateway to other drugs." which basically is not enough information to state this without further research.
