    Generally, the news says “alleged” until someone is convicted, even if it’s plainly obvious they’re guilty

      Except when it’s Israel. Then they keep using “alleged” even after humans right organizations and world courts confirm their crimes. Always gotta add that “We asked Israel and they said everyone is Hamas and Antisemitic” so we kinda have to “show both sides” of course. Journalistic integrity and all.
