press bait

The act of creating headline worthy news to cover up scummy behavior.

Person 1: This program I use just removed a popular feature... I can't believe it!
Person 2: Ah, but that was a press bait; they recently changed their terms of service to take custody of your baby.

bait and preach

the act of doing something that you proclaim as truth yet you turn around and do it yourself.
hypocrisy at its finest.

bait and switch but when accused you use the excuse "i was there to preach"
perfect example stay off facebook but i am on twitter.

pastor Johnny Mack: tbn is of the devil
guy: well weren't you on there preacher ?
john mac: uh well yeah
guy: well didnt you say stay away from them?
john mac : i went there to preach!
guy : isnt that bait and preach?

bait job

A job that is posted by a company and/or recruiter with the intention of never filling the position. Some reasons for this include gathering resumes to "see what's out there" or to make it appear to the public that they are growing more than they actually are. More nefarious motives include harvesting people's personal data or using the job as part of a bait and switch, where people apply for one job but are instead directed towards another, usually less desirable, one during the interview process.

Fooled by another bait job. I applied for "Lead Software Developer" but was told at the interview I'd be a better fit for "Janitor."
