Sometimes I come across sentences or phrases which should (in my opinion) contain the verb "to be" (present continuous tense) but they actually don't. Last time I saw that on CNN in the running line, there was something like "Trump and Clinton working to flip states in their favor" (it was not a capitalized title).
So, is there any rule for that or it's just a feature of mass media?
