Ja, man hätte noch ein Fragezeichen zu dieser Aussage hinzufügen 
müssen.  Dann wäre der Sachverhalt eindeutiger:


"...Sent in MFSK32

Welcome to this edition of "Data with J3ff"...

I am a geek who likes the various radio data stuff so in my attempts to 
learn more about data modes I am trying to send data modes...
"data with j3ff" is just some random things on my mind that I put in 
various data formats... I hope you enjoy it.

Betteridge's law of headlines
 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headlines
Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline 
that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is 
named after Ian Betteridge, a British technology journalist who wrote
about it in 2009, although the principle is much older. It is based on 
the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was 
yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting
it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or 
not. The adage does not apply to questions that are more open-ended than 
strict yes–no questions.
The maxim has been cited by other names since 1991, when a published 
compilation of Murphy's law variants called it "Davis's law", a name 
that also appears online without any explanation of who Davis was. It
has also been referred to as the "journalistic principle" and in 2007 
was referred to in commentary as "an old truism among journalists".
History
Betteridge's name became associated with the concept after he discussed 
it in a February 2009 article, which examined a previous TechCrunch 
article that carried the headline "Did Last.fm Just Hand Over User
Listening Data to the RIAA?"
This story is a great demonstration of my maxim that any headline which 
ends in a question mark can be answered by the word "no." The reason why 
journalists use that style of headline is that they know the
story is probably bullshit, and don’t actually have the sources and 
facts to back it up, but still want to run it.
A similar observation was made by British newspaper editor Andrew Marr 
in his 2004 book My Trade, among Marr's suggestions for how a reader 
should interpret newspaper articles:
If the headline asks a question, try answering 'no'. Is This the True 
Face of Britain's Young? (Sensible reader: No.) Have We Found the Cure 
for AIDS? (No; or you wouldn't have put the question mark in.) Does
This Map Provide the Key for Peace? (Probably not.) A headline with a 
question mark at the end means, in the vast majority of cases, that the 
story is tendentious or over-sold. It is often a scare story, or
an attempt to elevate some run-of-the-mill piece of reporting into a 
national controversy and, preferably, a national panic. To a busy 
journalist hunting for real information a question mark means 'don't
bother reading this bit'.
Studies
A 2016 study of a sample of academic journals that set out to test 
Betteridge's law and Hinchliffe's rule (see below) found that few titles 
were posed as questions and of those, few were yes/no questions and
they were more often answered "yes" in the body of the article rather 
than "no".

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridges_Gesetz_der_%C3%9Cberschriften
Betteridges Gesetz der Überschriften ist ein Sinnspruch, der besagt: 
"Jede Überschrift, die mit einem Fragezeichen endet, kann mit einem Nein 
beantwortet werden." Es ist nach dem britischen Journalisten Ian 
Betteridge benannt, der 2009 darüber schrieb, das eigentliche Prinzip 
ist jedoch deutlich älter.[1] Das Sprichwort gilt nicht für Fragen, die 
offener sind als reine Ja-Nein-Fragen.

Die Aussage beruht auf der Annahme, dass der Verfasser die Überschrift 
als Behauptung formuliert hätte, wäre er sich sicher gewesen, dass die 
Antwort „ja“ lautet. Durch die Formulierung als Frage ist er nicht dafür 
verantwortlich, ob sie richtig ist oder nicht.[2]
