Thank you for that link. Betteridge's law should probably be formulated to have criteria beyond "Does it end in a question mark?" A quick scan of the current CNN headlines turns up the following:
* Why is this star MLB pitcher being ignored? (N/A)
* Who do you think should be CNN Hero of the Year? (N/A)
* What's behind Whitey Bulger's death? (N/A)
* Facebook is pivoting. Will users follow? (No!)
- TeMPOraL 8y agoIt's almost a 100%-accurate heuristic if you change the criterion to "Does the headline end with a yes-or-no question?".
