I don't feel the law should apply on a fact-checking article.
- esperent 3y agoWhy? If they've checked the facts, they know the answer and could just put it in the headline. A factual headline would be something like "despite improvements, El Salvador still dangerous". The reason they don't do this is because they know the question will draw more readers. It's kind of click bait, and the fact it's such common practice is the whole reason for Betteridge's Law.
- Georgelemental 3y agoActually, this article is a refutation of Betteridge's Law, the author concludes the answer to be "yes".
