The headline is still manipulative af
Yes, a headlines purpose is to manipulate you into reading the article.
It's supposed to get you to read the article, not outright lie. The reality is that a lot of people only read headlines, so this lying in headlines just spreads misinformation.
And as a rule I say "fuck that" to articles that do this. If you obviously lie and be manipulative in a headline, then I'm not reading your shit article
What is the outright lie in the headline?
