Do you realize they used the word "said" 34 times in that article? Yikes. Maybe the next time they do an article on Greeks yall should lend them a thesaurus

As a professional journalist with more than 10 years of experience, I can tell you that "said" is the preferred word because it is not supposed to imply bias. Phrasing such as "according to," unless referring to a document, is rather pretentious, IMO.
