Today’s bungled headline
November 24, 2005 18:35 by BackSpin EditorHow did CNN editors let this headline get by?
Bullets fly over hang glider incursion:
Israeli troops cover man’s dash back across Palestinian border
You have to read the article to find out that an Israeli civilian on a hang glider was blown over the Lebanese border by strong winds.

That should be that the hang-glider dashed back to the ISRAELI border after his return from Lebanon. P.S. Lebanon does not touch Samaria, let alone a non-existent “Palestine”.

You should have taken a screen shot of that headline… it’s changed now of course.

CNN, along with the other MSM, is brainwashing the public to accept an idea of an independent Palestinian state. So, the MSM present this non-existing state as a matter of fact. Hence, references to the fictional Palestinian “border”, Israeli “incursions”, Israeli-Palestinian “summit” etc. The approach is ugly, but it appears to work.

Unfortunately I have come to believe that most journalists have just stopped thinking for themselves. They have learned from Animal Farm: Palestinians Right: Israelis Wrong.
As a variation: Arabs right: Jews wrong.
