I read the article like the 90% of readers read it.
“But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
The article contains the information only a few paragraphs in. It leads with the information that is actually news and is what the headline is about. You might wish every article starts with a genuflection to any and all relevant Kremlin talking points, but I think a few paragraphs in is certainly not burying it let alone not mentioning it, and you don't have a serious leg to stand on here.
