    This is actually pretty common in journalism. The journalist writes an honest article and their editor jazzes up the headline. This article seems much more complementary than the headline makes it seem.

      A left leaning German newspaper did the opposite once, which I found hilarious. The caption of a picture read (paraphrased from memory):

      “Internationally renowned human rights attorney Amal Clooney and her husband, an actor.”

    Reading the article, I don’t see her being dismissed as much as in the title - actually, they are admiring her style and posting the part about her being an artist (at least self-proclaimed), and not her “properly working and popular” husband.

    It’s click bait! The article is kinda great actually, tricking people into reading an honest article has been around before computers. I liked it

    Oh, isn’t that Diego Rivera’s wife? I heard she dabbles with paints but I’m pretty sure in 92 years people aren’t going to worry about the names and works of famous spouses.

    Yes, to let this joke I did actually need to look up his name and it found by looking up the name of a painting she made of them, lol.

    Reminds me of back in 2011 when Mike Fisher, a solid hockey player, joined Nashville to be with his wife Carrie Underwood. Canadians/hockey fans got a good number of chuckles from Nashville headlines reading like “Carrie Underwood’s Husband moves to Nashville”.
