"Prisoners of war"? Which "war", @reuters.com?
"Survivors of extra-judicial assassination attempt" is correct.

Ganske ironisk at NRK, inkludert kringastingssjefen, så til de grader beviser på #debatten i kveld hvor langt fra 'balanserte' de er i alt som har med folkemordet i Gaza å gjøre.

Voici le contrat du match Russie – Cameroun avec paiement direct à Samuel Eto’o
C'est un véritable stratagème qu'a monté Samuel Eto'o pour encaisser la quote-part de la Fécafoot pour le match Russie -

Botafogo played 75 matches in 2024.
The problem is that european teams are exhausted since we have to play more competitions. Such as the Champions league and domestic cup competitions.
While the expanded Club World Cup was met with sneers or apathy in many parts of the world, South American teams were always all-in.
For @espn.com, I wrote about why this tournament just means more for CONMEBOL clubs (and their fans!)

I jakten på den falske balansen har de sittet på intervjuet i to uker (eller noe) og ventet på svar fra Fifa/Qatar.

Endelig sendte NRK intervjuet med Abdullah Ibhais.
«Ibhais mener varslinga er grunnen til at han fikk en rettssak mot seg.»
De reduserer saken til «han mener».
Et godt eksempel på NRKs «journalistikk» – frykten for å si det som ting er, frykten for å bruke riktige ord, jakten på falsk balanse.
