More dumb headline writing

"r&b singer Angie Stone dies in car accident hours before planned performance."
GRA: And hours after getting into her car--more pertinent.
Similar stupid, meaningless headlines from the past:
"Betty White died just days before she would have turned 100."
a black in tampa bay killed a fellow druggie, just days before he was going to kill someone else.
Kamala Harris lost the presidential election in november, just two months and 15 days before the date she had anticipated becoming president.
Elon Musk reported doge had found 65 billion dollars in savings, just weeks after becoming a father for the 14th time.
The proper headline: Angie Stone dies in car accident--PERIOD.

(NYTimes)The Academy Awards drew 18 million viewers on Sunday, ABC said, citing Nielsen data. That is an 8 percent drop from the 19.5 million who watched last year.
ReplyDeleteThe audience decline ends a three-year streak when Oscar ratings had been on the rise(GRA:barely).
The decline follows a trend among other award shows, which have seen their ratings growth come to a halt this year. The Grammy Awards attracted 15.4 million viewers last month, a 9 percent decline from the year before. The Golden Globes in January also saw a modest decline from last year.
ABC said the Oscars had grown 3 percent among adults under the age of 50.
ABC broadcast the Oscars on Sunday, as it has for decades, but the show also streamed live on Hulu, which helped boost viewership.
GRA:"Oscar" is the only name I recognize
of all the people nominated or movie titles up for best picture. These are nobodies making horrible movies for audiences a tenth of what turn up to watch this boring award show. I actually doubt the 18 million number,lol.
