Choice of wording
Bin Laden’s son “probably killed” in U.S. air strike
“Probably”? Of all the ways to phrase a headline, “probably” was the best choice? BBC said “likely”. “Probably” sounds so unsure that it’s not worth reporting.
“Are you going to the mall?”
“Probably.”
“Was Bin Laden’s son killed in a U.S. air strike?”
“Probably.”
Um, yeah. Great.
