What you may not realize is that the people who coin these headlines are proffessional writers, people who are skilled with the english language. The double meaning of the headlines are deliberate, a little on-the-job or insider humor, a way for the writers to blow off steam. Their editors allow the headline to go to print unedited in order to allow the writers to have their joke and keep moral up.
