iNEWS, the KSS-aligned channel, published two separate items on the Popular Mobilization Forces law on the afternoon of 23 August. The first, attributed to Shaghati, said the law would be placed on parliament's agenda soon; the second, attributed to Ishraqat Kanun, called on parliament to settle it away from political disputes. Both rest on a single channel relaying named third parties, and no other tracked channel in the collected window carried the PMF law at all.

The law governs the standing, pay and legal status of the PMF, and a single faction-aligned channel carrying both the procedural forecast and the "away from political disputes" appeal shows which media network is investing in the timing question while its peers are not.
