ABC News is making the wrong kind of headlines.
The network caught a storm of flack Tuesday over a post on the social media platform X about the latest expected return of hostages taken by the terrorist group Hamas during its Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel.
The ABC post labeled some of the hostages “deceased,” a choice of words that ignited the internet.
“BREAKING: Hamas will release the bodies of four deceased hostages on Thursday and six living hostages on Saturday, Hamas and Israel confirmed,” the post said.
“Four more dead hostages will be released next week, according to Israel.”
In a responding post, Sen. Mike Lee, a Utah Republican, slammed the deliberately cloudy language.
“Do you mean ‘murdered,’ @ABC?” he wrote.
“Civilian hostages, little children, murdered by the evil, brutal scum of Hamas.”
