I just did.

The headline was correct (though stupid) on the AP story, and WRONG on google news. They need to fix it. Now.

It's entirely possible that the original story had the headline wrong and then corrected it, but after the google spider had picked up the wrong one. I'm not accusing google of bias - but they ought to fix the mistake pronto.

stays there until the author deletes it or until you post a whole new piece.
