It’s not always the case, but I’ve found that some outlets like to write their first article title completely false so that a more alarming headline is distributed that way to subscriber notifications and RSS, then they update it on their own a few hours later after the false headline has already been shared and posted across the web so they can plead an honest mistake if necessary.
I appreciate that The Guardian is mentioned here because they’re one of the worst offenders I’ve noticed.
