Both the Daily Telegraph and The Guardian published a Reuters report on Israel’s response to a Syrian attack on its soldiers in the Golan Heights. But check out the respective headlines:
The Daily Telegraph:
The Guardian:
Spot the difference? While the Daily Telegraph’s headline makes it clear that Israel was responding to an attack on its troops, The Guardian’s does little to dispel the impression that Israel simply carried out an act of aggression.
In addition, the use of the word “Syrians” implies actual human beings were the targets of the Israeli action, making no distinction between civilians and military personnel. In any case, The Guardian headline misleads on this point as the actual targets were military facilities i.e. structures and not people.
Yet another headline fail from The Guardian.
