AP and Reuters rocket attack spin: Newest members of Journolist?
The AP has been ignoring the many kassam rocket and mortar attacks on Israel (except, of course, for the ones in which the IDF manages to kill a few terrorists before they get off the missiles). But when a Grad … Continue reading

My snarky briefs, not yours
Biased AP headline of the month: Parents say Israel abandoned son held in Gaza. Apparently, the headline was too long. So instead of writing, say, “Parents say Israel abandoned soldier abducted by Hamas,” we have the pap above, which does … Continue reading

When honoring terror is “conciliatory”
The AP has the most fascinating pro-Palestinian spin. The PA cancelled an anniversary ceremony that was supposed to honor a terrorist who helped her people murder 35 Israelis who were traveling on a coastal highway. Here’s the AP spin: The … Continue reading
