It's a "don't read me" headline. Nothing new in this news story. But
it's possible the headline writer was stuck topping a nothing-new story
and responsibly wrote a headline that is bland yet accurate.

Would you consider that construction perfectly ok, a colloquialism /
grammatical shortcut, or would you consider it wrong no matter what?
Just curious.
