So We're Publishing Placeholders Now ?

This is an actual 'story' published by actual 'Fox News'.  Just look at the headline, and then read the content -- no wait, you can't.  Because there isn't any.  Jeb set to announce his run, Hillary said something over the weekend, then some random shit going on in the world.  And that's it.  Pure meaningless content-less click-bait:

Hillary Clinton versus Jeb Bush

Hillary Clinton held her largest rally of her campaign for the Democratic nomination so far on Saturday on Roosevelt Island. Clinton making income inequality a huge part of her campaign. Clinton saying, “These Republicans trip over themselves by promising lower taxes for the wealthy and fewer rules for the biggest corporations without any regard on how that will make income inequality worse.”  She also said “I’m not running for some Americans, but for all Americans.”
Hillary also weighed in for the first time later that day on the big trade deal that failed in the House on Friday. She says Democrats’ concerns should be addressed, but didn’t say she’s support a final deal. Today she’s holding events in New Hampshire. Ed Henry reporting.

There were two horrific shark attacks in North Carolina. Two attacks on teenage swimmers within 90 minutes of each other on Oak Island. Both teens losing limbs. We’ll talk to a shark expert.
The U.S. military conducted airstrikes in Libya and may have killed an Al Qaeda leader who was behind an attack on a gas plant in Algeria that left 35 dead. Four members of a Libyan terror group linked to the Benghazi attacks may also have been killed.
The New York Times reporting the United States is sending major military equipment into several Eastern European countries considered under threat from an increasingly aggressive Russia. A Russia military leader today says it’s the most serious military escalation since the Cold War. The U.S. will sent heavy equipment to Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, Romania and Bulgaria.. and maybe Hungary.
Greece stocks continue to plunge.. down another 6% today on fears no deal on a bailout is imminent, and Greece could default. Amy Kellogg reporting. 
That's the whole thing minus the 'Sponsored Stories' & 'More from Fox News' crap.  Every time I think the news-media can't fall any further, they keep proving me wrong.  Even the Beeb's main news-page is turned to wall-to-wall clickbait-y garbage these days.  And they don't even need advertising.  They literally get to tax an entire population of sixty-four million or so on the basis of owning a television-set, and then pretty much use the money as they see fit.

Just what are we supposed to do with this garbage ?  You said Hillary Clinton versus Jeb Bush...So, are you going to compare their platforms, compare their respective campaigns, look at strengths and weaknesses, consider their history, including potential political baggage ?  You could even go with the obvious question of whether Americans want to create new presidential dynasties in the Bushes & the Clintons.  But, no.  Nothing.

I just clicked refresh...again...because there has to be more than this.  There Just Has To Be.

I'd almost settle for a meaningless cartoon.  In fact, to the Googlez, and...


There.  Cartoonist Blzeeez or whatever his name is just provided more insight into the election than fucking Fox News.  See it's all hip and relevant and shit because there's this teevee-show called Game of.....


Update:

Going on a week now, since Jeb!'s announcement, and still...nothing...Just vacuous meaningless shite.  Delete this garbage already, Fox !
