Shameful Headline Attracts Readers but Fails to Deliver

No you are not missing something in this story. Although the headline from a theepochtimes.com article was "Missing Plane Found? Update: Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, Flight 17 Cause Shakeup", the actual article had nothing to do with finding the aircraft. Why do news sites create fraudulent headlines? Assuming it was not an honest mistake (doubtful), the likelihood is they were trying to drive a large amount of traffic to their site under fraudulent pretexts. Congratulations guys! If making us trust you less as a news source was the objective, you have accomplished your goal!
