"Analysis: China currency move nails hard landing risk coffin"

[averygoodun42]

Worst headline ever? I mean, it's like a bad translation from Chinese (a google translation, to boot), except that it's not. It's a bad summary of the first sentence/paragraph:

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's weekend reform of its currency regime nails shut the coffin on the last remains of doubt about whether the world's second biggest economy has successfully steered a course past a hard economic landing.


For some reason, I expected better of you, Reuters. *tsks*

Someone obviously forgot the first lesson they learned in journalism class: WRITE CLEARLY AND CONCISELY. If I submitted a press release that was that poorly written, my boss would have asked if I was drunk when I wrote that. Obviously, this is a sign that there are no more copy editors to review a reporters work before they upload a story.
