Social media users criticized the Associated Press for its obituary headline on Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, calling it kinder than their headline for late U.S. senator Jim Inhofe. The AP News headline described Nasrallah as 'charismatic and shrewd,' while their headline for Inhofe painted him negatively. The Israeli Defense Forces confirmed Nasrallah's death and stated that he was responsible for the murder of Israeli civilians and soldiers, as well as thousands of terrorist activities worldwide. The AP referred to Hezbollah as a 'Lebanese militant group' and waited until the 14th paragraph to mention their terrorist designation. Users compared AP's characterization of Nasrallah to Inhofe, criticizing the outlet for being gentler with the terror leader.
