« Live from the Senate Banking Committee | Main | Buy What You Hate » February 15, 2007 Financial Times Has Attitude Problem Says BloggerLet’s say that you interviewing Joe Peralla, the investment banker, for a news story. During the interview, Mr. Peralla makes some fairly standard comments about France’s well-known hostility to free enterprise. So, what do you use for a title? If you write for the Financial Times, the answer is easy: “French have an attitude problem says New Yorker.” New Yorker? Oh dear lord. Apparently, this attitude problem is spreading. Just for the record, the body of the article doesn’t once mention the fact that Peralla is from New York (he’s from Bensonhurst) or even that he’s American. The “New Yorker” tag adds nothing to the article. In fact, Peralla says that it’s the French people he’s encountered who feel that way. This reminds me of the famous British headline: "Fog in Channel; Continent Cut Off." Posted by edelfenbein at February 15, 2007 7:16 AM |
