130-year-old clickbait alert! This is proof that the media has always been a clickbait trash fire, even before clicks existed.

Also: All op-eds with the word “all” should be banned. Unless it’s about the detergent.

The headline writer deserves to be smacked with their own rolled-up newspaper.

Correspondence on the subject invited!
