The 2023-2024 style guide, obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, instructs reporters to skip terms like 'terrorist,' 'Islamist,' or 'extremist' for groups such as ISIS, al Qaeda, and Boko Haram, opting instead for neutral phrases that focus on their actions and aims. It mandates calling the Srebrenica massacre a 'genocide' while using 'mass killings' for the Armenian deaths, labels Israeli settlements 'illegal,' deems Gaza 'occupied' despite the 2005 withdrawal, and describes Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar as a 'political leader.' Critics highlighted these inconsistencies as evidence of bias at the Qatar-funded network, long accused by several Arab nations of promoting extremism.

On February 18, CHI$OM posted on X about stepping back from pro-Palestine advocacy after commenters dismissed reports of violence against Nigerian Christians as fake. Nigeria leads global lists for Christian killings, with over 7,000 deaths in early 2025 from groups like Fulani militants and Boko Haram, though the government calls it general insecurity. The discussion highlights frustrations over selective attention, as Nigerians note more deaths locally than in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, while some defend pro-Palestine voices and urge focus on multiple causes.
