Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.
Forum Rules: Here

The websites like the one in the OP are hardly "the press" they are scams set up by hucksters who merely generate sensationalist and false stories as clickbait to get paid for views on the ads on their pages. They are no more "the press" than the National Enquirer is a real newspaper.

Most people don't notice that disclaimer and post the stories on facebook and social media, where the disclaimer doesn't show up, and people click on the link and go to the page and by the time they notice the disclaimer, IF they do, they have already been served up with the ads and the scammers have made some more money.

Caveat emptor! Always check your sources.
And since when is scamming people into spreading false news "freedom of the press'
Oh wait, I forgot you believe CNN and The New York Times are real news too.
carry on.
