Why do journalists use " sensationalism " headings such as this?
These so called journalists just have to embellish the story to grab attention so it seems.

Anything to make a story better even if it is irrelevant.
Very poor reporting IMOP.
Also happens if they're a sports star, doctor, lawer, politician.
It actually shows how much in esteem the profession is held that it's so note-worthy when someone goes off the reservation.
