Do journalists have horrible reading comprehension as a requirement for the job? Or do they really deliberately try to lie to us with headlines?

For example:
NIGHTWISH SEEKING NEW SOUND WITH TURUNEN REPLACEMENT

Which contains the following, right at the end:

“We will be open to a slightly new sound.”

That’s the only mention of a “New Sound” in the entire article. (Though “entire” is probably too strong a word to use for a 5 line “article”)
I don’t know how anyone could misconstrue being “open to a slightly new sound” as actively seeking one.
