If they have to frame a headline as a question, you can usually assume the answer is "no"...

The reason why journalists use that style of headline is that they know the story is probably bullshit, and don’t actually have the sources and facts to back it up, but still want to run it.

Narrator's law of headlines is : one should prepend "We would like you to believe that" to any headline that ends in a question mark.
