MSNBC online just changed headline. From Holiday sales slow to "solid"

I was looking at the MSNBC online homepage. The top story was that Holiday sales were slow. The article linked said the same. See here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10529993/.

Then I reloaded the page and....blink the Headline changed to Holiday sales solid. Yet the headline still links to article entitled, "Malls full, but sales not spectacular. Holiday shopping season heads into crucial final week."

How do they change healine to positive and still link to negative article. The headline is opposite of article message!
