Two ballistic missiles were fired from Houthi rebel-controlled Yemen toward a US warship in the Gulf of Aden, after the US Navy responded to a distress call from a commercial tanker that had been seized by armed individuals, the US military said Sunday.
The tanker, identified as the Central Park, had been carrying a cargo of phosphoric acid when its crew called for help that “they were under attack from an unknown entity,” the US Central Command said in a statement.
The USS Mason, a guided-missile destroyer, and allied ships from a counter-piracy task force that operates in the Gulf of Aden and off the coast of Somalia responded to the call for help and “demanded release of the vessel” upon arrival, Central Command said.
“Subsequently, five armed individuals debarked the ship and attempted to flee via their small boat,” said the statement posted on social media platform X.
It’s not.
Does the word ballistic materially change the subject of the article? No it’s an unnecessary adjective. And yes your example would be as well. They tried to make it sound worse, it’s a shitty Iranian missile fired well under maximum range it being ballistic is irrelevant aside from being an idiotic choice.
Not at all. How exactly do you get that out of my comments.

For reasons already stated, it’s not hard to understand. You should read Chomsky if you don’t understand the importance of words.
Again, remove ballistic and it changes nothing but adding it makes it sound worse. That’s sensationalism.
There’s no bias and I’m pretty sure I told you why I’m my last response didn’t I .

I’ve repeatedly explained sensationalism, I’m not sure why you’re saying I haven’t.
It literally is.
Not at all.
Try what again?

I won’t read Chompsky because I know the importance of words
The dude thinks the USA invented propaganda and no other country uses it
Apparently not.
And no they didn’t, propaganda is much older than England let alone the US and we’re certainly not the only ones to use it but way to prove that lack of critical thinking.
I believe you misread my comment, I said that Chomsky seems to believe the US invented propaganda
I don’t recall reading that boss.
