How so? AJ is just quoting CENTCOM here.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It doesn't have to copy the exact wording centcom use

[–] Spectrism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Agreed, but I also don't think that it's wrong to directly quote someone. It doesn't necessarily reflect the author's opinion on the matter or make them "disgusting".

I believe in journalism where only facts and accurate words are used not the fake balance that infect modern day journalism

Jordan is not attacking Iran, Jordan is the defender between those two nations.

That's not centcom

[–] Spectrism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's a quote from another commenter in this thread, not from the AJ article. So how is this relevant?

I'm wondering if comments are out of order for me? They seem not to have been properly federating over the weekend, possibly since Thursday.
