Are headlines and the story in the article supposed to be about the same thing?

One would assume that this would be a rather crucial aspect of journalism. Sadly, bigleaguepolitics.com feels as though having the article be actually about the same topic that the headline indicates is a rather minor issue in reporting, as it turns out.

If you were to do this on say, a FB post, or even if you did it here or some other blog it might simply be a case of you starting a headline, then walking away or getting lunch or just getting distracted by whatever and then forgetting what you are working on when you sit back down. It would be "dumb" for you do to that and it is really dumb when bigleaguepolitics does it. The difference is that if you do it, it isn't actually your job.

I think it should be of the utmost importance that the articles are about what it says in the headlines. I'm not talking about clickbait where the title is misleading and the article doesn't actually back up what the point was in the headline, this is brain-dead-bait or that-guy-really-should-get-fired bait.

I was an editor for a college newspaper and this position was unpaid. If I were to make this mistake I would fully expect to at least get reprimanded and probably have my duties absorbed or at least embarrassingly overseen by a coworker for a while. Whoever the writer of the article, and the editor of the entire operation of there must have had their collective heads in the clouds that day because this seems like something that if anyone were actually to simply look at it would realize the error right away. It says Milwaukee in the first damn sentence! Everyone knows that Milwaukee is not in Oregon!

I recall when I wrote an article in college and accidentally spelled Colombia incorrectly 6 times in an article about soccer. I spelled it like the US city "Columbia" which is spelled correctly, but it is not a country in Central America, which is what I was writing about. This mistake made it past me, my digital checking resources, and my editor. This was very embarrassing for us because it made it to print and was a bad blemish on me when it was pointed out by a reader.

Big League Politics isn't exactly mainstream but they do have a small staff and those people are paid to produce this stuff. The fact that this ever made it online (It was corrected 24 hours later after the comments section was filled with lol reactions) is just laughable and in my mind simply shows that these guys can not be counted on for any sort of serious journalism.

This is reporting 101 guys, and the fact that you manage to have a company that wouldn't catch this error after presumably going through multiple people shows championship levels of....
