I'm no fox news fan, but I don't know what a typo (landen) has to do with being classy.  Usama is an accepted spelling of his name.

Variations of Osama bin Laden's name

There is no universally accepted standard in the West for transliterating Arabic words and Arabic names into English, so bin Laden's name is spelled in many different ways. The version translation most often used by English-language mass media is Osama bin Laden. Most American government agencies, including the FBI and CIA, use either "Usama bin Laden" or "Usama bin Ladin", both of which are often abbreviated to UBL. Less common renderings include "Ussamah Bin Ladin" and "Oussama Ben Laden" (French-language mass media). The last two words of the name can also be found as "Binladen" or (as used by his family in the West) "Binladin". The spelling with "o" and "e" comes from a Persian-influenced pronunciation used in Afghanistan where he lived for a long time.

They have always spelled it with a U.

The fact that they spelled confirm wrong....

 

And why not spell his name the way the world is used to seeing it?
