<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/media" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CBS News</a> took a wave of backlash on Thursday after publishing an X post that appeared to downplay the horrific terror attacks Hamas perpetrated against Israeli civilians, leaving over 1,300 dead and thousands more wounded.
The post in question referenced the <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israeli-twin-babies-found-hidden-and-unharmed-at-kibbutz-where-hamas-beheaded-children/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab7e&amp;linkId=241083751" target="_blank" rel="noopener">incredible survival story</a> of 10-month-old twins whose parents hid them just before the Hamas terrorists arrived at Kfar Aza kibbutz, killing the parents and numerous others — including children and babies.
But what people took issue with was not the story itself — rather, it was the use of scare quotes around the word massacre: &#8220;10-month-old Israeli twins were found hidden and unharmed at kibbutz where Hamas &#8216;massacred&#8217; their parents and beheaded children.&#8221;

Critics responded by suggesting that CBS had downplayed the brutality and horror of the scene, mocking the outlet with their own scare quotes and referring to CBS News as CBS &#8220;News.&#8221;

&#8220;CBS &#8216;social justice&#8217; reporter @WritingLiYakira is the &#8216;journalist&#8217; who put quotes around the word massacre as if Hamas’s attacks weren’t in fact massacres of civilians,&#8221; Nick Fondacaro added.

&#8220;I hate having to repost CBS &#8216;News&#8217; &#8230; but I have tears and chills as I remember seeing this photo and family reported as all killed, but the parents saved their babies by hiding them &#8230; how much more parallel to the Holocaust must we get?&#8221; The Federalist&#8217;s Margot Cleveland said.

&#8220;Is it not a real massacre? Why the quotes on that word, CBS?&#8221; Jennifer Van Laar <a href="https://twitter.com/jenvanlaar/status/1712532971675332857" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a>.
