Murder makes the intent sound more petty; less important, more personal, and less political than it really is

Assassination indicates political intent and societal effect, and even a sketchy history of skeletons behind the assassinated that led to this

But the cultural hegemonic capitalist lib and con media don't wanna hear anything about such history.

Using the term "assassinated" elevates the victim,

More than his role has been? Assassinated puts questions on why high-level figures like him get targeted, and these questions are uncomfortable, to say the least

Remember, not all assassinations were booed by the general public (see the fascist general Luis Carrero Blanco and see how he's SO elevated in post-Francoist Spain)

He was only briefly elevated, followed by a swift return to earth
