I think the criticism is quite clear. Asking a question as a headline is a form of clickbait. If the statement implied by the question was a verifiable fact, it would be posed as such instead of lying by phrasing it as a question. It's already a critique of the cliche being used in the headline. Use of this rhetorical device already casts doubt upon the veracity of the content therein, not to mention the skill of the writer. Also, ironically enough, by posing a question in the headline, the answer of said question is automatically "no." You've now saved yourself the time you'd otherwise have wasted reading the article. Although you may think that the comment pointing out Betteridge is a tired meme, you should really be ridiculing the writer of the article for utilizing the tired meme of putting unverifiable information into the world by writing a headline as a question.
