I draw your attention to the subtle, barely seen ways that language is used to manipulate a reality - these journalists probably don't even know they're doing it (their editor might)
Hamas massacres, but Israel does not.
Israel doesn't massacre people - it's engaged in a "subsequent war".

For countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia, these big spectacles have served a variety of interlocking aims—to soften public perception, diversify their economies, and bolster their reputations as international powers.
It makes sense that Trump would gravitate to this kind of approach.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.
