Say Goodbye to "Squeeze", "Guts", "Stick" and "Bad"

Jeff Says, "Try Harder"
Thanks to Robert Farago for pointing out this Reuters article, “Ford says has no interest in Chrysler brands.” I get that journalists are hard pressed to quickly report news in the age of Twitter, but, please, at least write a headline that makes a modicum of sense. According to the article, it was written and edited by two separate people (“Reporting by Poornima Gupta, editing by Matthew Lewis”). My suggestion: delete “says”. Though Robert did a fine job dissecting the article, I have to ask too: “Why in the Hell would Ford want Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep, when it has Mercury and Lincoln and just got rid of Jaguar and is (still) trying to get rid of Volvo? Lazy journalism or reporting on what people really want to know?
