  1. Shivali Best is a god awful writer for daily mail online that uses 3rd grade strategies, when writing online articles. Click-bait tactics are best saved for the likes of BuzzFeed.
  2.  
  3. Example:
  4. " Some conspiracy theorists claim that the mysterious booms are noises created by aliens - although there is no evidence to support this. "
  5.  
  6. Really? Who? You never address this in the article. With no stated source, or reference, I am going to assume "Some conspiracy theorists" is code for "I made this shit up." This is a writing tactic utilized by third graders. It's no different than when a child writes a crazy narrative, but then ends it with "it was all a dream".
  7. It's an unsubstantiated claim, which can't be validated, and adds nothing of value to the article in question. No wonder you don't write for The Times.
  8.  
  9.  
  10. It's a non-specific garbage sentence which explicitly attacks a specific group of people based on their beliefs.
  11.  
  12. In all likelihood, you made it up. Feel free to console my anger, that you are putting words into the mouths of conspiracy theorists, and you are reinforcing negative viewpoints of them, via negative unsubstantiated claims.
  13.  
  14. "Though there is no evidence to support this."
  15.  
  16. ^ If you mean that there is no evidence to support your claim that conspiracy theorists have explicitly blamed the recent boom sounds on aliens, then I guess your sentence is completely alright.
  17.  
  18. However, consider this, should your news organization be posting information of such low caliber, that it would receive a [Citation Needed] and a subsequent deletion, if it we're posted on a Wikipedia page?
  19.  
  20. Step up your game, and write like an adult.
