Our Canadian counterpart, Headlines & Deadlines, picks up on a problem of the way papers edit wire copy into news briefs:
The Toronto Sun reported today that a “Gaza blast kills 3 Palestinian children”.
The short 34 word report briefly mentioned that the source of the ordinance was believed to be from an “Israeli tank”. However the report failed to mention that Palestinian terror organizations are making cynical use of children, by sending them to areas where rocket launchers are located to collect weapons, consciously endangering them in places where the Israeli Defense Force targets the rocket salvos and sites.
Compare the Sun’s digest with The Scotsman‘s brief on the same incident.
