Presents 'deal calls for end to fighting' right next to 'strikes killed a dozen'. Implies direct contradiction without full context. 🤔
White House blames 'logistics' for delay. Anonymous Authority. — Anonymous Authority (45/100)
Blames 'logistics' from 'the White House' without naming a specific official or detailing the issue. Vague authority. 🤷♀️
