Poor Headlines

There's a story on MSNBC with this headline... "Official: Kerry will not run in 2008":

Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, the Democrats' losing presidential candidate in 2004, intends to stay out of the race for the White House in 2008, a Democratic official said Wednesday.
...
Kerry plans to disclose his political plans in remarks on the Senate floor later in the day, according to this official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid pre-empting a formal announcement.

That headline is quite misleading.  It sounds as if it's "It's Official, Kerry will not run in 2008", when in fact it's "An anonymous official says that Kerry will not run in 2008".  It's the little things like this that bug me.
