    For reasons which I don’t really understand, news articles will pretty frequently have the official headline be this vague or incoherent thing that doesn’t communicate all that clearly what is contained within the article, but then somewhere above the fold if you click will be a collection of words which much more accurately describes the content. When that happens I usually title it with the more coherent set of words instead of the headline (as with this story).
