Headlines in newspapers used to be compressed in this manner, where they would omit words (especially "the"), so it didn't phase me, but interesting to think how this could be confusing, especially to those who didn't grow up reading physical newspapers, but even for those who are just used to the less constrained headlines in today's media.
