Shady title with "?" not to own the statement.
Ending with a question is a shady media way of getting aroudn the legal issue of taking responsibility.
I hate blog titles like this as the author doesn't want to take responsiblity for the claim.

Say the media claims, "Your mom could be the murder suspect?" You are not technically saying yo mama is a murder suspect though it is implied so.
Media companies won't be prosecuted for any "wrong info" for such titles by law because it's a "question".
Same here for the blog post. It's framing as a question, not taking a responsibility that (though author implies so) he is claming MCP is a bad idea wihtout owning it.
It's worse than weasel phrases.
