Why does Fox News think it's "Usama bin Laden"?

Am I the only person who notices that Fox News has always spelled and pronounced Osama bin Laden as Usama bin Laden? Are they just stupid or are they somehow more well informed than the rest of us and we still won't listen?

These things can be ambiguous, especially when you go between different languages and alphabets.

Hmm...I think you actually answered my question. I wonder why Fox News has decided to be so stubborn about it, though. If it's so ambiguous, just go with the norm!

I think you answered your own question regarding Fox News and normal media coverage...

Cos Fox News ain't got a clue as how to pronounce his name or the name of his "terrorist" network... so.. they just make it up!

Gotta admit I can't say the name of the terrorist network as it should be either!!
