That's journalism these days. Like the article about Saturn's Rings disappearing. Small print at the end, in 100 Million Years. But hey that doesn't generate clicks.

Yeah, I miss the good old days when articles didn't have attention grabbing headlines enticing you to read the article, instead just had flat paragraphs of text with nothing but facts.
