We can play the headline game every time their imperialist wars start.

A screenshot of two New York Times headlines analyzed with red text to show their difference. One headline reads “Iran says dozens are killed in strike on school.” The red text highlights that the portion “Iran says” casts doubt and “in strike” shows no responsible actor for the strike, as if it passively happened. The second headline reads “9 Killed in Israeli City Near Jerusalem After Iranian Missile Strike”, the red text highlights “9 Killed” is stated as a fact, rather than “Israel says 9 people were killed”. The second highlighted text is “Iranian” as in this headline the actor is named.
