It isn't unusual, I would say, for a headline to attempt to grab the interest of a potential reader. This headline does not seem to me to be hyperbolic, if that is your complaint, nor does its suggestion that the media has neglected coverage of the coming trial seem overdone at the time the charge was made. David Corn's piece, "A Terrorism Trial in the US Neglected by the Media", is dated Jan.7, and in the first paragraph makes the point that, considering the magnitude of the crime, the trial is not getting much coverage by saying that the story is hardly getting a media blitz.

Corn linked to a Nation preview dated Jan 4. of a story scheduled for the January 24 edition. Coverage by The Nation could hardly be a media blitz if that was all they wrote about, but The Nation and Mother Jones are media, as you say. The NPR link you provide is dated Jan.9. as is the CNN video, as is the LA Times op-ed, all after the Mother Jones article, so the headline could be accurate at its time of publication, although I cannot say how much coverage the story had received before. If it had received major coverage I think I would have noticed some of it.

Anyway, the accused is an old man and is said to be sick. If he is convicted maybe they will let him go somewhere besides prison to live out his last days. Scotland might be nice and they seem to be quite understanding of that sort of thing.
