Anger at scrapping of war crimes law

How they lie: journalism and the art of fiction
The growing tendency of so much of the "news" – especially international reporting – to be pure fiction designed to arouse emotions rather than impart information, is a development that may not be recent, but certainly it has gotten more brazen.
