Why do legitimate news sites keep publishing these fake "survey" stories?
Surely journalists understand that these stories are not real. They are not based on scientific polling. They don't have legitimate sample sizes or methodologies. These surveys are a click bait technique that for profit websites-like Wallethub--use to boost traffic. Whenever a legitimate news site runs one of these stories as actual news, it diminished the credibility of the site. Why should I believe your stories if you claim that stuff like this is true?
