The Associated Press previewed the likely death of Hezbollah terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah with a lengthy biographical article that rivaled The Washington Post — which famously referred to Al Qaeda terrorist leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as an &#8220;austere religious scholar — in its effort to frame the Islamic extremist in a positive light.
The original headline was posted on Friday, and it read, &#8220;Charismatic and shrewd: A look at longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.&#8221; But Saturday morning, the headline had already been edited to read simply, &#8220;Who is longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah?&#8221;
The quick edit appears to have been a response to the critics who flooded X with comments about how positive a tone the AP had adopted when talking about the leader of a terrorist organization.
AG Hamilton showed a side-by-side of the Nasrallah headline with one about the late U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK): &#8220;Former U.S. Sen. Inhofe, defense hawk who called human-caused climate change a &#8216;hoax,&#8217; dies at 89.&#8221;
&#8220;AP on the death of a Republican Senator vs The possible death of a terror leader responsible for tens of thousands of deaths,&#8221; Hamilton captioned the screenshots.

&#8220;Not a parody from the AP. Nasrallah was a ruthless, murderous terrorist,&#8221; Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) added.

&#8220;Nasrallah is not a &#8216;charismatic leader.&#8217; He is a bloodthirsty, anti-Semitic terrorist. Hope this helps, @AP,&#8221; Rep. Anthony D&#8217;Esposito (R-NY) said.

&nbsp;
In addition to the headline, the AP delivered a full 12 paragraphs before the word &#8220;terrorist&#8221; was even mentioned. Instead, the outlet referred to Nasrallah as an &#8220;astute strategist,&#8221; an &#8220;archenemy of Israel,&#8221; and &#8220;a fiery orator viewed as an extremist.&#8221;
