      It can be deflective, or a foreign news style of having quotes around exact language. I noticed it with the BBC World News.

        It's still deflective. Saying someone else called these events a war crime is distancing their news agency from calling it that even as they spell out details of an event that's a war crime

          If they do not use quote marks MBFC gets big mad for quoting Gazans and not mainstream news outlets which are not allowed into Gaza.

            You just don't know how quotes work. If they wanted to ve deflective, they would not quote at all.They are at freedpm with the title. They choose executed and they display it is more than just their own opinion.
