Why do NYT headline writers write like a dumb college freshman with a thesaurus?

- Myrmornis 11y agoAlso not sure if this headline is a good example but I thoroughly agree with your sentiment. NYT headlines are often florid, pretentious and inappropriately "literary", even when dealing with serious and sad topics.
