          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

            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.

      killed in Jordan yesterday as “partner forces defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks"

      Jordan is not attacking Iran, Jordan is the defender between those two nations. Furthermore, even an aggressor can defend against enemy attacks. That is simple English. Very odd you find it ‘disgusting’ to accurately describe defenders as defenders.

        Jordan is attacking Iran by collaborating with and enabling US-Israeli attacks on Iran. You don’t get to claim you are not involved if you are in fact involved. Providing bases and airspace and missile/drone defense to the aggressor is an act of aggression.

        The bases are used to attack iran. Jordan is the agressor and no the agressor has no right to defend itself in an illegal war

        Jordan is hosting American bases, which are being used to attack Iran. Jordan has only to deny its territory and airspace to Amerikan and Israeli terrorists.

        Also, Iran is not attacking Jordan. Iran is attacking American bases in Jordan.

        Iran is defending the Jordanien people from Israel, to which the army is capitulating, unlike Hisbollah. Very disingenuous Zionist framing, there.
