That's interesting because I strictly copied the title over from Reuters website. You can see the same link still goes to the article... yet the title on Reuters has been changed.
Putting my tin foil hat on, someone at Reuters stockpiled their stock or truly loves the company :)
- exolymph 9y agoNo, much more likely that they A/B test headlines. It's standard practice among news orgs at this point.
- slg 9y agoIt is pretty common for an article that is written about breaking news like this to be heavily edited as time goes on. The last edit on the article is listed as occurring after I left my comment. I would bet the original headline was written in a rush and eventually one of the editors at Reuters had the same objection as I did and rewrote it with a less negative slant. In fact, the current headline is even more positive than the one I last saw and that currently appears on HN. They appended "despite progress" at the end.
