Not surprised, and I’ll be the AP claims everything they handle is “time sensitive”.

If All Headline News lifted the AP story and is not an AP subscriber, then it is a righteous case. However, if the AP thinks it can put up a link on the net and forbid linking to the title, then they won’t be successful.
The Associated Press doesn’t “own” the news, much as they would like everyone to believe it. No court will rule that way, and even if they do, it won’t stick.
Ask the RIAA how that’s working out for them.

Associated Press... lawsuit against All Headline News, a site that allegedly misappropriated AP stories online. The AP considered the lawsuit an important test of the "hot news" doctrine, which was established in a 1918 Supreme Court case involving the AP. That principle holds that while facts cannot be copyrighted, news organizations can sue when competitors copy time-sensitive stories.

Can they sue you if you read the article and then re-write it in your own words and link back to the source?
To: Nachum
Perhaps if they reported real news, they wouldn’t need to worry.
