Thankfully Business Insider Is Not Responsible For Healthcare Modernization

Oracle News, Tuesday, May 28th, 2024

Clickbait (noun): 'something (such as a headline) designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest

'Oracle's deadly gamble. Larry Ellison bet $28 billion he could revolutionize healthcare. So why are so many patients dying?' reads the hyperbolic, fantastical headline recently published by Business Insider (BI).

Wow. Clickbait? One would expect that following such a headline, Business Insider would follow through with.some semblance of news?

Instead, we get the typical Business Insider formulaic story: start with a vignette, take some widely reported old news, mix in a few anonymous quotes, take other quotes out of context, ignore all facts to the contrary, present other facts entirely backwards, add some irrelevant graphics, refuse to print the company's response, throw in the obligatory layoffs.and you have your typical Business Insider preconceived 'expose.'
