The author of the article works with the editor to determine the headline. It tells you what the article is generally about.

@DarkCloud I think it did some creative paraphrasing.

@DarkCloud But her post was NOT antisemitic. That was the claim of those who complained, and the ABC management caved like a stepped-on meringue.
