Yeah, I was familiar with the practice to put "claims X" at the end, I just didn't make that clear. My question really revolves around: should that be changed?

Yeah, I was familiar with the practice to put "claims X" at the end, I just didn't make that clear. My question really revolves around: should that be changed? I wonder if this is a result of limited-character lengths on aggregators. It's easy to chop the end off of a headline and have it still make sense. Couple that with people reading only the first part of the headline and possibly ignoring the second part. I think your suggestion moving to attribution to the front would be helpful for headlines online. Maybe even have the title of the page have the attribution prepended to handle scrapers.
