That last one is actually hilariously opportunistic. It's entirely true that he withdrew from a BBC role, but as of now he is still the Doctor... Certain tabloids will write whatever makes people click through, I suppose.
I fucking hate this bullshit. It's tailor-made to be misunderstood and make you click but if you do "misunderstand" because you don't follow certain things 24/7 to be able to put their cryptic word diarrhoea into context, well, that's on you then, they did not lie, everything they said is TECHNICALLY true.

I blame the people publishing the articles but I also understand they're playing in a rigged game. The platforms (facebook, reddit etc) that they depend on to get views REQUIRE headlines to be insane clickbait.
If I were the boss of Lemmy I would mandate that all communities require de-clickbaited headlines but what can you do.
Yeah, it's like how I try not to begrudge YouTubers who make those thumbnails, no matter how much they enrage me.
They're clearly playing off the rumour that's been going around since February that Gatwa might be leaving, and baiting people into reading a very minor newiscle, but I agree. It's borderline disinformation.
