Headlines and the AP

Regarding "Vegas casinos appear ready to embrace sports betting" (Wednesday Business B7), one of the subtle pleasures of reading a newspaper is the creativity editors have in composing the headline.  My personal favorites are the puns and alliteration.  With this Associated Press article, though, we venture into new territory: overstating the obvious. 

I look forward to future AP articles employing this technique; perhaps they could expound on how President Trump feels about Twitter.
