Upworthy and the likes have already had a huge effect on my reaction to that sentence, I almost instantly closed the tab. Glad to see they're being knocked down a peg.

I don't know if this qualifies as clever. If people are starting to react against the style, then it may not be the best way of drawing attention. Heck, the "Presidential Commission on Election Administration" probably deserves a fresh angle rather than a hackneyed one, since the topic sounds deathly boring (like Upworthy stories tend to be).
