Nope, no third solution sir. We working love our drama & love it more when it's in a headline next to a politician :)
So, it goes like this, we hear:
#1. The Headline Includes the Phrase "Blow To" and right away we're thinking of physical punches being thrown! Ooo - a fight!
#5. The Headline Contains the Word "Gaffe" and right away we want to learn of someone else's embarrasment - i think something in psycology explains that human tendency.
#4. The Headline Ends in a Question Mark this question-mark tempts us to give a reply! darn it - answer the question.
#3. The Headline Contains the Word "Blasts" c'mon really? it's a slang that everyone has learned by now and it condenses the point into a short title.
#2. The Headline Is About a "Lawmaker" Saying Something Stupid ha! it's so funny when they do that :D
So, bottom line all of these warnings include literary lures to get people to buy/read an article; it's more about sales than informing the reader. Okay, I get it, but sometimes....just sometimes....you can even walk away from one of these dressed-up articles and have just a little bit more insight on the types of quirky things a person is/isn't capable of doing/saying, am i right?
