That's not how the now-deceased terrorist leader's first name is spelled. Perhaps Fox accidentally combined "the guy who had him killed" with "the guy who got killed." Or perhaps, once again, they're just trying to ruin everything.
UPDATE: A different video version of the big news actually skips the typo and announces President Obama as dead.
UPDATE: Sure, we can give them the "Usama" part since it's sometimes spelled that way. But we're pretty sure "Landen" is just a typo referring to .

Uh, I was watching the Fox News channel that night and was on their website at the same time, and it didn't say that. The rest of these are Fox local affiliate channels, not the Fox News Channel.

Ugh: I'm sorry if you're too stupid (or stubborn?) to understand that I meant every news station I have seen, which would be CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and several local stations, as well as a few radio stations out here in Southern California. I just hate when people try to make one side or the other look dumb over something stupid, and since tons of news people (and regular people) have made this slip up, it is dumb to attribute it to just Fox News. They do plenty of really, actually dumb things you can call them out on.

Freudian slips or just the Faux news habit of constantly attacking our President no matter what he does. So either they're incompetent and stupid or vicious and stupid.

Not too happy about the deceptive link on the video that sent me to some music channel on YouTube.
But anyway, still it shocks me that Fox News (and presumably most of it's listeners) still can barely seem to distinguish between Osama Bin Laden and President Obama. wtf. -

Guys, FOX NEWS took over most Fox affiliates at this point in the night, so it was Network, not the local on most of these. To be fair, it was 10+ PM on a Sunday night and who expects this kind of big story then. It was not the A team of any graphics department. But CNN didn't screw up this bad, nor did any other news network, just Faux. And Yes, the SEAL Team and others killed him, but give POTUS his due. He said we're going to get him, he put the proper resources in place, including the drone strikes, he went into Pakistan when it called for it, McCain would not have per his own words. So, SEAL Team Six, new name classified, should get medals, etc. But they're SEAL's they're not in it for the medals. And 75% of Americans give the second line of credit to The "Not Kenyan, Not a Terrorist after all". Live with it.

What's really funny is that its actually spelled like this أسامة بن محمد بن عوض بن لادن, and you all are trying to be experts about an interpretation of a translation. The only written items that are worth laughing about are "Landen" and "confrims".

O'bam bam did not kill that man.
An elite team of deticated American Soldiers did,
The United States Navy Seals Team(s)that performed this service,
They should all,to a man,receive the Congressional Medal of Honor from Obama. -

News is just now starting to come in on the reaction of Republicans to the killing of Osama Bin Laden by the Obama administration.
I think he killed him at this time just to make us Republicans look bad, ya know? I mean like we couldn't get the job done in those 7 years, ya know? He did this on purpose.
Yes, but is he really dead? Why hasn't he produced a death certificate? I'm not so sure is all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying, I'm just not so sure. -

ʾUsāmah bin Muḥammad bin ʿAwaḍ bin Lādin
This was the correct spelling of bin Ladens name. -
whocares | 05/02/2011 flag |
They didn't misspell his first name, using a "u" instead of an "o". Name translations from Arabic are not an exact science, whether you use the "o" or the "u", the pronunciation is exactly the same. Ergo, multiple spellings of the name Mohammed, eg, Muhamad, Mohammet, etc.

therock. not sure. but, when i heard he was dead.. i googled it.. and i saw it somewhere, typed like that. i guess its saying.. obama: bin laden dead. meaning, obama on bin laden dead. maybe the colon takes the place ?

It's seriously Photoshopped. Look at the baseline of the B in "OBAMA": It's not far from the proper position. Yes this is a satire site but my cat came up with this overdone joke 8 months ago and it wasn't even funny then.

therock | 05/02/2011 flag |
I don't think it's a missing colon. Why would it be "Reports: Obama: Bin Laden dead"? That doesn't make sense.

Mtmt, stef, allison - The focus is on Fox (and affiliates in some cases) because the parent is so clearly biased (one might say, unbalanced). I am absolutely sure that other networks and affiliate stations made mistakes, too. I think the point here is that it IS satire and the fact that this debate is going on on SOMEFUCKINGECARDS is almost worthy of a page itself!
Talk amongst yourselves. I have to go to work. -

It's just ridiculous that it's only ever a fox news typo that is on this site...no other network. And typo errors are retarded to post on a satire site anyways...especially when most of the other stuff is actually hilarious...such as the Justin Bieber photoshop one...or that guy that was applying for jobs like a dogwalker...that stuff is actually hilarious. Typos are just stupid, regardless of the network. I mean honestly, who really cares?
