Users pointed out the problematic phrasing, 'A car has driven into a group of people,' arguing it downplayed the intentional act of terrorism committed by a Saudi Arabian man. Critics accused the media of avoiding direct language about the attacker's motives and urged for more transparent and truthful reporting.

The Associated Press was slammed by people on X and received a community note after saying that a car drove into a crowd at a Christmas market in Germany.with the title, “At least 2 dead and 60 hurt after a car drives into a German Christmas market in a suspected attack.”

“A car has driven into a group of people at a Christmas market in Germany,” the AP wrote in its post on X., a man, who is “reportedly from Saudi Arabia” drove a car through “a crowd of people at a Christmas market” in the city of Magdeburg.“A car has driven” implies the car drove itself, which is factually incorrect. A man from Saudi Arabia intentionally drove the car into the Christmas market as a terror attack.

Several people responded to the AP’s post on X, questioning “who was driving the car” and criticizing the establishment media for writing “headlines like this” instead of being honest.
