Referring to a list of countries defined elsewhere is effectively the same as naming them. It's not “false reporting” to claim that a statement targets those countries just because the names are listed elsewhere. You might as well say that a statement about “second amendment right” isn't really about guns because it doesn't specifically name guns.

We’ve tried to introduce J to Star Wars a few times
We’ve tried to introduce J to Star Wars a few times over the years, but while he’s liked the toys, he’s never really been interested in the movies…Until now. A few weeks back we watched A New Hope (*we* wanted to watch it, he could go do something else if he wanted) and he stayed through the whole thing. Then over the weekend we asked if he wanted to watch “the next Star Wars movie,” and he did. That night I read him the two ROTJ stories out of the 5-minute Star Wars book to assure him that yes, things do get better for the good guys. He also had questions about why Darth Vader started to follow the dark side. Tonight, he asked to watch the next movie, and while we didn’t have time for the whole thing, we suggested we could watch up through the rescue from Jabba’s palace. Paused at takeoff from Tattooine, no freak-outs. We’re going to pick up where we left off tomorrow night!
Hi there, 2017…

Hundreds of companies have signed an open letter to Trump & Congress encouraging the US to honor its Paris climate commitments, as in the long run it will be better for our economy (not to mention the ball of rock that we live on). It's not just the companies you'd expect like Ben & Jerry's. Several of the giant agribusiness conglomerates like Unilever, Mondelez and General Mills and Mars are on the list as well.
