The Economist always comes up with good tag lines for stories. In this case:

Linda Yaccarino goes from X CEO to ex-CEO.

I don't read the Economist much but I was curious as I'm always down for punny headlines, found this collection: https://www.ironicsans.com/2007/06/the_best_and_worst_of_the...

Their "Resign, Rumsfeld" cover is etched into my memory.

I’ve noticed that they have different, worse headlines in the digital edition and on the web. They seem more clickbaity.

I just want to get on the record and say that whoever in the paper argues for and writes the fun headlines is on the right side of history

They got in trouble for this one, it's tasteless, but memorable:
