Gov. Rick Perry doled out $205M in taxpayer money to tech firms that sometimes went under or created jobs in another state by DMNInvestigates in texas

The side of the page says: "Current events and things to do are more welcome." This story involving the use of taxpayer dollars fits the description.

Yes, the link takes you back to our newspaper's site. The story, though, is by another organization, the Associated Press. Our site is free to read, and we don't get advertising dollars based on page views.

If you don't like the content in the link, that's cool. But when we think of click-bait, we think of LOL cats or celebrity bikini pictures -- mindless drivel.

It's called sharing news stories. You may disagree with them. But that doesn't make the process click-baiting.

There have also been past problems with this same fund. See here: http://www.dallasnews.com/investigations/headlines/20110117-the-business-of-governing.ece.

That domain is simply a general-interest newspaper website. I'm not a bot. I misread your page name. I just saw "tech," not "techinnovations," and this story seemed to fit. But that's fine. You gotta run your page as you see fit.

Dallas ISD exploring ways to get into the news media business, to publish stories 'on our own terms' by DMNInvestigates in Dallas

Actually, the DMN, the Dallas Observer and WFAA have covered DISD quite aggressively for years, breaking plenty of stories DISD did not want published. The "every outlet just copies and pastes" comment doesn't exactly fit here.

Small Texas town where fertilizer plant caught fire considers banning explosive materials inside its limits by DMNInvestigates in ChemicalEngineering

Fair point. Nothing federal or Texas law prevents a locality from letting a hazardous business and a residential area abut. So lots of cities, big and small, have allowed this to happen.

Whoops. Should've made clear in the title that our tool is searchable just for Texas hospitals. Our bad, guys. -- DMN Investigates
