Nitpick, but even the first sentence in the article is nonsense. Doesn’t anyone proofread anymore? Let alone read even the first sentence before publishing?

If the headline got you to click than the article has completed it's job. The other 500 words are just to make you not feel scammed.

– and realize, wait, I'm not really sure this is any kind of legitimate news source.
I'll wait for a more accurate article without all the editorializing.

If this was a post or even just a thread on the lack of editorial process with in today's online media, then we could nitpick the use (or not) of the Oxford comma, the emdash vs endash vs hyphon vs ellipses vs parantheticals. We could even pontificate on the grammar like the selected sentence structure, use of single long sentence as an entire paragraph, the use of capitalization of all the letters or just the first letter in an acronym for a name like Nasa vs NASA. Alas, that's not what this is, so there's a saying that comes to mind about time and place or even picking your battles.
It's almost universally agreed that you can proof read all you want, but has soon as you hit publish you'll spot at least one mistake.
