I hate news articles so much. “The (underlined) Associated Press said” ahh, this must be a link to the actual quote, I’ll read that. Nope! Just a link to their website. At least it’s not as bad as other sites that link to other random articles.
The worst are the outlets that appear to outright refuse to link to anything but their own site… It will reference something, and instead of the link actually going to the thing, it goes to the last article they posted on the thing. Ugh. Few things make me leave a news site faster.

Better than “Download the app to read the article”
Low bar.
