    I’ve never heard of the site Mediaite before. I didn’t click the link, but plenty of AI slop sites are popping up and headlines like this are a good way to spot them.

    EDIT: apparently the sites been around for a bit, and this seems to be a one off headline issue. The credited writer appears to have several articles without issues apparent at first glance. Another article says “White House attorney” but it’s an attorney that’s acting as a liaison. Maybe just a nitpick. Some sensationalist headlines. Same as I’ve seen elsewhere so nothing too egregious.

      • Thank you for the link! Will edit my comment to reflect it’s not new. It seems there’s some question as to its journalistic merit with the wiki stating “The New York Times has described the site as “a blog that chronicles the gossipy media world””, but it seems it’s been around for a bit at least.
