      Because it's actually a quotation.

      I know this is the internet, but quotation marks weren't always just meant to denote insincerity...

                Often news sources make sure anything that could make their news source look bad, like controversial topics, are someone else's exact words that they quote so you can't be mad at them for calling it a “war crime”...
