So, you didn’t like, or understand the headline, and that’s the author’s fault. Fair point. It doesn’t make it grammatically incorrect though. Email the writer and let them know, if it means that much to you.
Because it’s grammatically correct it’s not intentionally misleading. “As” is the keyword. Run has 645 meanings. Just because people interpret a phrase differently doesn’t mean it’s wrong, or malicious.
I’m not trying to be condescending. I’m just incapable of explaining this in a satisfactory way. Those criticizing the headline are not pointing out anything meaningful. The information in the article correlates with the headline. Biden has the ability to endorse a ceasefire, “while” his former staffers are urging him to do so.

So they were grammatically correct with their intentionally misleading headline. Glad everyone reached a consensus.

Except that it is obviously both wrong and malicious.
I proved that it is not grammatically wrong, can you prove that it is malicious?
It leaves out context, intentionally. If this was a fox news headline, I’d say the same thing, and you’d agree.
The context is in the article. It could be argued that it is in the headline too, but some obviously have interpreted it differently.
Edit: Replace “as” with “while” and maybe you’ll understand.
Indeed.
