Very interesting, thank you. I was wondering if that also happens in other countries. It is sadly the norm in Germany when reporting car accidents.
Even the word “accident” is part of that downplaying.
Used to subversively reinforce power or the status quo:
“Police killed/murdered by man.” “Man was killed in police raid.”
“Israeli killed/murdered by Palestinians.” “Palestians were killed in airstrike on hospital targeting Hamas.”

Definitely normal here in the US, too. Unfortunately.
I suspect the tone is used so they aren’t sued for stuff. I understand it but I disagree on their usage of it.
