Gaining publicity by any means

News try to achieve clicks and sales by using tricks, not quality. That's why we see titles, mainly on online portals, being unfinished, not revealing anything. Some go to that extent to only say: "You won't believe what happened with this (particular guy)", without giving absolutely no traces of at least where the guy is, what's the general situation.
Sometimes, they add the situation, but it's still repulsing. Like: "Look at what happened when this guy stood in front of a lion."
I was kind of used to see that being used by gossip trash papers, or trash portals. But now we see sports related portals are doing it, I mean, you don't need to trick people to click your portal, they're sport lovers, they're gonna read your portal anyway - they're here for the sport, and there is always a lot of sport. But, even they can't rely on having so many sports being sported every day. Why? I don't know. People are, I guess, just browsing news, and their followed news portals on their social media are just bombing them with whatever "unbelievable" story there might be.

The new recruit initially needed some coaxing to punish an unmarried woman caught in a hotel room with a man. The article points out this morality crime in the region called Aceh, in Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim-majority country. The alleged criminals get a public whipping.  The new recruit didn't have the stomach to do it right away, but she pulled her self together and flogged the alleged criminal. This shows that the Muslim religious source produces sharia law, making human suffering because of it. The modern Muslims will tell you it takes four witnesses to accuse of adultery. That is why Sharia police patrols in four. The scholars must teach the floggers how to do it properly - according to them. It is unclear to me if there is a proper way of flogging described in the Hadith or the Qur'an. Please let me know what is the proper way of flogging in your country! They also say it is not aimed to hurt people, but to shame them so they don't do...

Revision of a post

Hello folks, I’ve decided to try this out again, to reactivate my blogging, but I also wanted to test the themes for the blog. This one seems O.K., it looks “professional. Anyway, if you ever get to read anything from me, and do notice changes in layout, that’s because I’m gonna test which one I like. By the way, you can suggest something, so please be welcomed. I guess there is a comment section for your suggestions.
