I don't understand your point at all. The headline attributes to Hannity. Yes, Hannity said that, the headline is factually correct. The headline the poster proposed is not and no real news organization, not even the news part of Fox would use it.
The point is simple: Trueness is on a different axis from slant (or perhaps: spin). Something can be neutrally presented and bullshit, or slantedly presented and true.
Ideally, in this four-quadrant space, most news would stick to the true/neutral space, the others to be avoided as hard as possible. We both know that doesn't happen.
Talking smack about quadrants and media savvy highschoolers is certainly simple. Coming up with a relevant example to illustrate your point: that seems surprisingly less simple. The differences between factual and non-factual, direct statement and quote, hyperbole and metaphor: curiously elusive!
There's a very good one given upthread. Same event, all three headlines true, but two are slanted in different directions and one is just a recounting of facts.
Hyperbole and metaphor have no place in headlines.
All three headlines are not true. That's the whole point. It's supposed to be an example of something but gets it completely wrong. As to metaphor and hyperbole, again, there's a big difference between those two things - it's nigh impossible to write anything without using metaphor.
