Often headlines are a layout decision and not created by the reporter.  Wilber deserves about half the beating he gets around here.

A very good point.  At least in the newspapers I read, headlines are irresponsible much more often than articles are.  I've also noticed that the headline on a paper's website often differs from headline in print for the same article, and that the web headlines tend to be substantially less accurate and more click-baity.
