The f'n Associated Press, via Townhall:
[Townhall] On Friday, Israel reportedly took out Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Just earlier that day, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had given a speech at the United Nations, where he called out the agency's anti-Israel bias. "I have another message for this assembly and for the world outside this hall: We are winning," he also declared as part of his speech. Despite all of the barbaric actions that Nasrallah is responsible for, the Associated Press thought he was a figure worth memorializing in a special kind of way.

"Charismatic and shrewd: A look at longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah," read a Friday headline from Bassem Mroue that the Associated Press thought was appropriate to publish. Hours later, the headline reads the same, though archived versions are available.

#4 Charismatic and shrewd,
He looks a bit chewed.
After being air-struck,
He's shite out of luck.
