It is a story about Fox News creating a weather channel. It is likely they will talk about climate change less than The Weather Channel, but we don't know for sure yet.

I'm not sure you should attribute your misreading to someone else's editorial skill.

Their skill at writing misleading headlines?

Skill might be going to far, but we do at least know that the NYT A/B tests headlines.
