Reuters Still Omits Terror in Israel

November 15, 2003 18:19 by

In the HR communique of Nov. 12, we indicated that both AP and Reuters omitted attacks in Israel when compiling lists of recent terror attacks around the world.

Reuters released an updated list today, to accompany reports on the terrible attacks in Istanbul. CNN is running the Reuters list.
Still no Israel.
But once again, if Jews were killed outside of Israel, that merits entry to the list. An explanation from the London wire agency is in order.

UPDATE: CNN removed the Reuters list. But as LGF indicates, it’s still (broken) linked from CNN’s Mideast main page.

    It now seems that CNN has removed the Reuters terrorist page (although a link to it still appears at the top of their Middle East index).
    Even though it’s gone, it should be noted that the list never mentioned the word “Islam” or “Muslims,” even though every single act of terror it described was perpetrated by Islamic groups. Hardly surprsing (hat tip: little green footballs)
