Belgrade Buries Mladić; Brussels Objects

TL;DR

Reuters files thousands at Ratko Mladić's Belgrade funeral. Politico files von der Leyen's objection. A funeral is not a rewritten verdict. Leave Tuesday's expulsions to Tuesday.

MSM Perspective

Reuters files thousands. The BBC files military honors. Monday owns the funeral. Tuesday owns two diplomats.

X Perspective

Feeds treat a hero's burial as already a rehabilitation.

Thousands gathered in Belgrade for the funeral of convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić. [1] Reuters filed the crowd. [1] Politico filed Ursula von der Leyen's objection. [2] A funeral is not a rewritten ICTY verdict. Print the burial. Do not print a rehabilitation.

Leave Tuesday's two diplomat expulsions to Tuesday. Military honors are not a state rewrite of Srebrenica. Print the funeral. Print Brussels objects.

Print the burial. Monday is not a rewritten verdict. Thousands in Belgrade are still not a rehabilitation. Print the funeral as Monday's named hold. Von der Leyen's objection is still not a rewritten ICTY file. Print the burial as still Monday's named Belgrade. Print Brussels objects as still not a rewritten verdict. Print thousands as still not a rehabilitation.
