It isn't charitable to impute a suggestion of malice to the adjective "misleading". The headline does mislead most of its readers, regardless of the motives behind writing it.
We hold headlines to a higher standard because clickbait is so awful. Even if only mistakenly so, this headline functions as clickbait.
Maybe you could be a bit more charitable in your interpretation? It's obviously not the meaning you chose first, so it's more likely a mistake than anything malicious.
