I mean… it could have been a base template that said nothing of consequence… maybe… but that might be giving them too much benefit of the doubt.

Nah, i bet that field doesn't mean what this thread is motivated to believe it means. Like, maybe the author creates an article covering this topic, then hits save in the CMS. Title at the time was prolly "SOMETHING VP DEBATE RELATED IDGAF" and updated much much later. Field value stays the same.
