That headline was a red flag,and didn't quite have the effect on everyone that Politico was going for.All it did was make us want to read the article-which told us the opposite of what the headline conveyed.
Thanks for poking some of us in the eye with the sharp stick of obvious.....:P

Exactly, for anybody who read beyond the headline, the article said an entirely different thing.

One of the problems nowadays is that they expect people to read only the headlines and then react to the way the headline writer has presented it, rather than to the actual event itself. This is a big problem because a lot of people never read beyond the headlines.
