Hazmatastic@lemmy.worldto Global News@lemmy.zip•BBC ignores funeral of 31 Yemeni journalists murdered by IsraelEnglish2·26 days agoThere’s a difference between “Two missiles hit an area, destroying several buildings including two newspapers and killing over 30” and “Israel targets Yemeni press in strikes destroying two newspaper offices, killing over 30 journalists.” One looks like a little whoopsie-daisy mistake, where they are only announcing in a small article the tragedy that has happened due to equally tragic circumstances. It is doing its bare minimum to acknowledge an event while minimizing all details. The other lays the obvious responsibility and intent at the doorstep of the people who did it.
It’s “driver struck during altercation with police” and “fleeing unarmed teen shot in back multiple times by officer during traffic stop.” They convey some of the same basic information, but with one of them sterilizing its language so much that it’s technically correct while avoiding the details that make the people in power look bad.

If he’s trying to imitate NK, establishing a dynasty and getting rid of elections would be the starting point. And with all the talk of a 3rd term… my guess is that’s the goal. No dictator lasts forever, so ensuring a favorable transfer of power is vital. And if trying to deify yourself, the next closest thing is your progeny.
