"...if you read no further than the headlines."

That's the definition of how the general public interacts with a piece of news.

People who read no further than headlines will have trouble regardless. The solution to that is not "release fewer press releases so that people have fewer opportunities to be confused".

Now, you're just being argumentative for argumentation sake. I'm done

Gen pop don't get smarter if you don't make them think. Confusion can be useful and in this case likely a good bit of medicine. Grade school education level of understanding on anything is pretty useless and implying that they cant do better insults pretty much everyone. Hence the d/v's.
