or phrases in its headlines in single quotes. One reason a writer/editor does that is to show that the material came from a source, but may not be reliable. Example: >Houthi camp bombed by 'Saudi' planes; sources.<

Any number of films with disruptor plot lines. Real life is worse.
Takeaway: If a major news agency isn't sure of something ...
