'Careless Typo' by MSNBC?

NBC has apologized for and corrected an error appearing on the MSNBC website in which an article's headline claimed that the Pope had personally engaged in misconduct with boys. Despite the story's offensive headline to the contrary (exact details not to be repeated here), the article was not about the Pope. Even if we presume the error was truly accidental, isn't it nevertheless troubling that such a shocking headline could have escaped notice of editors and other staff members of this "leader in breaking news"? Quite a confidence-builder, no?
