Yes, but titles or headlines do not have to be objects or nouns or even words.

I think he's asking if you can say "This title is ignorant" instead of "This title is misleading" or "This title contains incorrect information."

No, I guess I would say that a person can be ignorant but a title cannot.

I suggest that it is the article that is ignorant, not just the title, though if the title did not represent its article well, then it would be ignorant itself.
