But quite a lot do, and do well, too. Why don't they deserve each a headline like this? > csa[0] Speaks Mandarin, Blows Everyone’s Mind Doesn't seem to be interesting, does it. As long as you keep Zuckerberg (or Musk, or Gates, or Obama) in there, though… > <famous person> <does an unlikely thing>, Blows Everyone's Mind …anything in place of “Speaks Mandarin” works. Such canned formula headlines, and stories that primarily are newsworthy due to combination of elite persona and unexpectedness[1] just make me cringe, nice to know I'm not alone in this.
