The cliches in this response are hilarious.

Please explain, if you will how the frivolous content of these sites, including lazy aggregating and curation, not to mention the "original content," much of it fluff, has ANYTHING WHATSOEVER to do with becoming "agents of change, diversity, inclusion, justice and honesty in countering the alt-right's fake news outlets."

Does that noble comment mean that silly listicles are going to stop Breitbart? Guess again.

The media is changing. That is s inevitable. But the final result is not going to be sorry, superficial garbage like the Incline, Billy Penn or UpGruv. Most of those who feel this is the next step are those involved in these sites, not anyone else. And isn't it odd you never mention the word journalism? That's what it's about: the truth, solid, unassailable fact, not shallow fluff meant to be chuckled at and forgotten.
