Two headlines from the New York Times: In the first headline, "Iran Says Dozens Are Killed in Strike on School", we highlight "Iran Says" for casting doubt and "Strike" as conferring no responsibility. In the second headline, "9 Killed in Israeli City Near Jerusalem After Iranian Missile Strike", we highlight "9 Killed" for stating as fact and "Iranian" for naming the actor.
