if(headline =~ "Boeing") sensationalize++;

tbh, I think that "engineer at a big company" is not that unimportant: That guy started to fall from a high point, he had already achieved something and, if it wasn't for his addiction, this story wouldn't have happened; it's not like he had no future to begin with.

Maybe s/Boing/huge tech company/, but then it would be quite cumbersome, wouldn't it?

else sensationalize++;

# Is it really a headline if it's not sensationalized nowadays?

Unfortunately not. RIP fairness doctrine.
It's actually a well put together story and worth reading.
