Why did you use a Conservapedia headline as an example in the page you originated, "[[Clickbait]]"?  Is that what you think the Main Page right section is?  Clickbait?  [[User:VargasMilan|VargasMilan]] ([[User talk:VargasMilan|talk]]) 00:26, 26 September 2015 (EDT)

:My opinion is that many of the teapartycrusaders.com headlines (linked to on MPR) are clickbait (which is unfortunate, since I think honest headlines are much better).  The other headlines are usually high quality.  I don't think clickbait TPC headlines should be so prevalent on our main page, but one particular administrator apparently thinks otherwise.  And since my previous attempts to improve MPR have been unsuccessful, I don't bother with that approach anymore.  Thanks, [[User:GregG|GregG]] ([[User talk:GregG|talk]]) 10:10, 26 September 2015 (EDT)

::The title was: "When CNN Said 'It's Ok To Abort Babies', Ben Carson's Reply Left The Whole Room Silent".  It may or may not have been a misleading title. Was there an audience for the CNN interview? Probably not, but it is unclear. Given the brevity of the clip and the camera angle, I don't know if there was an audience. I think you need a more definitive example of clickbait. I deleted your second example. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 10:30, 26 September 2015 (EDT)
