U.S. Rep. Jahana Hayes Criticizes News Media For 'Clickbait Journalism'

U.S. Representative Jahanna Hayes (D-5th District) issued a press release Sunday accusing the news media of “clickbait journalism” in response to two recent storiesshe claims made “reckless assumptions” about her comments.

All that and more.
