This is actually pretty common in journalism. The journalist writes an honest article and their editor jazzes up the headline. This article seems much more complementary than the headline makes it seem.
Makes sense, as the article was written by a woman too
A left leaning German newspaper did the opposite once, which I found hilarious. The caption of a picture read (paraphrased from memory):
"Internationally renowned human rights attorney Amal Clooney and her husband, an actor."
