Forgive the headline writer.
When he pens the phrase
GLOBAL ECONOMIC
MELTDOWN IMMINENT
he is just trying to make
a few bucks so he can
feed his cat
big bold
scary words
sell more papers
get more pageviews
get clicked get clicked
more often than
THINGS ARE REALLY
NOT SO BAD I MEAN
THE SUN IS SHINING
AND THE PLUMS
ARE ON SALE
