It should be designed to summarize the most relevant parts of the article. In this case its designed to get an emotional response, which is manipulation.
I will agree its not explicitly misleading, but there are better headlines for this story out there. Feel free to compare yourself.
You can’t offer a better headline. And you admit its not misleading. Take L and move on. I’m not going to search. It’s your argument to prove. I feel it’s accurate. It’s not misleading; the title is accurate.
I also saw a number of worse article titles, so overall I’d say this one in this post is about a 5/10 on the misleading scale, not tricky to figure out but still could be better.

Get the fuck outta here…
You can’t have it both ways is it misleading or not?
Explicitly means it literally says misleading words. Implicitly means it leaves out relevant words.
Its like lieing by omission.
In my opinion its misleading, but maybe I just have an awful time parsing headlines.

It, misleading, means to be deceptive, imo, the headline is not deceptive.
Edit also trying to change what you originally said. You didn’t say it wasn’t implicit.
I can I wanted you to say that first.
