That's a first step, but it's the post office they really need to crack down on. Bunch of incompetent thieves at the USPS. I've had WAY fewer issues with UPS or FedEx.

Good!
yeah, I'm not seeing an issue here. Seems like a good thing. Less shrinkage means better pricing.

While true, it is not the headline. It is his reinterpretation of it.
That is always what I have issue with.
Post without putting your spin on the item .. You spin can be in follow up text all you want.

Right, I didn't mention it was specifically parents, didn't seem necessary, and added that it was CNN's opinion, which theirs didn't have. Mine was LESS click bait that the original.

But why is it okay to spin later, but not at the time? That doesn't make logical sense. First, I didn't spin it at all, it was simply stating the facts... that CNN was saying this thing. Second, it's conceptually mistaken. There is no logical reason why the only thing any link can be is the title of the article to which it links. No one does that, that's not how the web or links work.
If we were to do that, why have hyperlinking as we do at all, rather than linking our own text to other things? You are missing how the web is designed to be used.

It is still your interpretation, and not they literal thing being posted to. that is no better than burying shit in a URL shortener in my opinion.
You are the one who always demands such literal interpretations of things. So stop pushing your agenda with simple news article links. Let us determine that.
Acceptable options instead of the shit you posted:
The @scottalanmiller opinion
CNN says Stop Feeling Guilty About Kids Watching Television
https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/20/health/screentime-guilt-parenting-strauss/index.htmlor actual article title.
