Examples of semi-official in a Sentence
I stopped believing the reports from the official and semi-official media in Iran regarding the circumstances around the assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, they are publishing various and even contradictory details : Assassins ? Motorcyclists ? A booby-trapped car ? A machine gun that fires automatically ? It seems to me that Iranian and Israeli intelligence to which this is attributed deals with psychological warfare, disinformation, and the obstruction of evidence.
If, for instance, they have heard something from the postman, they attribute it to a semi-official statement; if they have fallen into conversation with a stranger at a bar, they can conscientiously describe him as a source that has hitherto proved unimpeachable.
