In the UK at least I believe we would stick with the second style every time.

edit: lowkeykiwi, you are hellbanned.

I was assuming American English, since the site is based in New York. Even so, it turns out there is a lot of nuance to this grammatical question. The Chicago Manual of Style (which is for book editing) prescribes 's, while the AP Stylebook and Libel Manual (for press, naturally) prescribes ' only.

So since it's an American news site and follows AP guidelines, the title is perfectly normal. Carry on.
