Kind girl saved a newborn hedgehog and adopted it
Cute, but likely pure clickbait. I’ve seen a ton of these lately…”woman/girl finds abandoned baby (Something cute) and saves It” but they rarely show the “rescue” (and some did that were blatant setups/fakes), and seem to always look like professional breeders raising babies with all the proper equipment and knowledge faking the feels for clicks, not real “rescues” by random good people.
Maybe this one’s real, but I’ve been jaded to the genre by the fakes. 🙁

Why The Elevator Shaft Was Invented Before The Elevator
Clickbait title. Freight elevators had existed for many years, the building designer simply predicted there would be a safe passenger elevator invented soon enough to put an elevator shaft(round one!) into his new building. He was right, but the key is he wasn't predicting the invention of the elevator as the title implies.

Racist Australian Senator egged by hero kid
His speech transcript https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D1rtfLMXgAAqHit.jpg:large
The first thing he says he condemns the attack, but the media wouldn't have an outrage clickbait story if they mentioned that part....
What was the guy actually saying?
Kind of lacking that it's just being reported the kind of garbage he was saying, but not his actual words.
Giant Pacific Octopus totally engulfs scuba diver
Hmm... "totally engulfs"?? The dictionary begs to differ. I saw a PARTIAL covering of her head. GTFO with this "totally engulfs" clickbait.
Melania Slaps Down Giuliani. As Does Pompeo
OK, the actual statement made by Melania's camp (as seen on screen at 1:10):
"I don't believe Mrs. Trump has ever discussed her thoughts on anything with Mr. Giuliani."
That's a pretty significant nudge. To me, pretty clearly says "don't put words in my mouth". You can infer it as "don't put words in my mouth, you weaselly little prick", but the statement itself is pretty carefully reserved in the exact wording.
Newsworthy? Sure. But to me, I think a good journalist (and I'd usually include Anderson Cooper in that camp) should show the statement itself, without any opinion or commentary first, and then make a distinct segue showing that we're now moving into pundit's reactions and opinions.
The lead here was "First Lady Melania Trump's Office Fires Back at Rudy Giuliani Over His Remarks About Stormy Daniels". That just seems a bit clickbait-y to me. "Fires Back" requires reading between the lines of the statement itself. Accurate? Probably. But I think they should have honored the carefully worded nature of the actual statement and gone with something like ..."Responds to" instead of "Fires Back".
Furthermore, they should have kept the full text of the statement itself up on the screen during the whole reaction/opinion portion segment where Cooper and the other talking heads discuss things. By all means, discuss. I even mostly agree with their interpretations and take on the situation. But keep the text of the actual statement up so that viewers can decide for themselves.
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart was actually fantastic for hoisting people on their own petard by fairly and accurately showing their actual statements and reacting to them -- no bait and switch / obfuscation necessary. Stewart's kind of subtlety in pointing out contradictions and bullshit was awesome.
I guess I feel like the best response to Trump's "Fake News" shtick is to be doubly rigorous when it comes to journalistic integrity. Trump's gonna give you plenty of ammo to use against him. Use it, but do it in such a way that any allegations of bias or unfairness are clearly wrong.
