A chance encounter with a wrecked airplane in the West Bank exposes Harriet Sherwood’s airhead journalism.
Her curiousity piqued, The Guardian posted a query to readers of her blog asking if anyone knew what an abandoned passenger airplane and dilapidated ferris wheel in a field near Nablus were all about.
One reader responded:
A quick google search produced this from the New York Times:

Seems that Sherwood was too thick to do the same. Given her previous reporting claiming the Knesset is built on Palestinian land, the woman is utterly clueless.
Harriet, I suggest you bookmark Google Basic Search Help.
