I'm not versed into English poetry, but mysogyny and racism put asside, can someone tell me is it suppose to be a well written sentence or as ugly as I feel this is ?

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Yeah the whole sentence sucks. I am convinced it's meant to have people think "what the fuck are they even talking about?" and click.

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

That’s how English headlines are written. American ones are even more awkwardly terse.

This is as ugly as you feel it is. Dumb people only read the headline, so newspapers written for dumb people try to jam all the points they want to make in the article into the headline.

try to jam all the points they want to make in the article into the headline.

the specific wording of specific headline aside, i like it far more than "you will never believe what this politician did!!!!!"

you SHOULD be able to tell what the article is about from the headline and only click for details if you are interested.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

The headline should contain what the article is about, but details and interpretation are what the rest of the article is there for.

A better headline for the OOP news article would be "Controversy over new bus lane" or if you really want the mayor in the headline: "Mayor sparks controversy over new bus lane"

Daily Mail writes at the level of it's audience, and this is a Facebook Rant tier piece of journalism.

I can't understand a single word of this from "who has never owned a car".
