the purpose of a headline is to get you to read the story....

True, but it is also like those ads on television. The ones that make the loud claims with the great pictures, and underneath all the small print that you do not read.
As with those ads, if you truely want to know facts, you better stop and read in depth about whatever it is you are interested in.
Reading, to me anyway, is one of the things that has gone by the wayside...we sort of want folks to tell us what the facts are....not pursue them ourselves....we want people to tell us how we feel, not investigate and make our own decisions.
Companies and politicians spend millions, no BILLIONS because they know that we do not want to actually read anything nor investigate on our own...they want to be the ones to tell you all about it.
