I’m in the US.

I haven’t discerned a pattern, by the media, in the titling of the horror currently underway.

I’ve seen Al Jazeera use both phrasings. I haven’t determined that other media sites are hardlining their terminology either, but I notice the difference as I browse.

Maybe it doesn’t mean anything, but these days people seem extra sensitive about names.

    They have not allowed an election to be held in 17 years. They’re no more a “political party” than the Taliban.

        Governing body? Political entity? Junta?

        Edit: I was curious so I looked it up. The words used on their wiki are “dominant political force”
