Being unable, or unwilling, to report actual news, or to meet the barest minimum of blogging standards by reacting to someone else's news peg with a creative riff, or 'big picture' think piece, far too many clickbait websites use the existence of a White House petition as an excuse to present the whims of some deranged whacko or other as if it were something that a single person in the world needs to be made aware of. It's the contemporary equivalent of "There's even a Facebook page dedicated to it!" style nonsense, or, reaching further back "It even has its own website!"
The existence of a petition on this site, unless it's received millions of endorsements, is not, for lack of a better term, "a thing."
bye.
