    The title of the article is clickbait/ragebait. The actual article content is a little different. The gist of it is more so this:

    Headline writters are often/usually different people than the person who wrote the article leading to infuriating things like this

      Yeah well in this case it basically means that the headline is absolute bullshit. It might as well have said something about puppies.

      News organizations should be held to higher standards here, and be honest ffs

      Whatever the reason for the amateur bullshit, it’s amateur bullshit on the part of the atlantic, which is the actual headline here.
