Only broadsheet newspapers would repeat the online headline
that ends with the words 'says a think tank/report/gov't spokesperson.... '.
Every time I attempt to read these pieces
I discover how much more speculative the report is
than the headline is prepared to tell the reader.
What they are reporting from will always have
more varieties of views, and have more to say,
than any headline or the article will tell you
and the report itself will still be speculation.
