"with a deliberately inflammatory and made up title."

The Bloomberg.com story title has changed at least three times since the story's initial publication. If you're going to accuse people of things, please make sure your facts are correct.

How do I check Bloomberg's title change history? Are you saying within the 5 minutes you posted they changed it?

> please make sure your facts are correct.

Likewise.

Edit: removed the word "own" from "please make sure your own facts are correct."

My mistake. The "quote" was originally a reponse from me, based on what you said. Corrected.

A-B testing of article titles should be regarded as a breach of journalist ethics.

Why? I’m not an expert on ethical standards so I’m curious what a variable title would mean.
