The story which played out last week in Morningside Heights bore an uncanny resemblance to an unforgettable bloody incident which transpired Sept. 29, 2000 in Jerusalem at the outbreak of the Second Intifada. It’s far from clear that journalists have gleaned the necessary lessons from the misreporting of Tuvia Grossman’s ordeal.
While U.S. intelligence has yet to determine whether a building attacked in Damascus is an Iranian consular facility, UPI's Adam Schrader knows: Israel "destroyed Iran's consulate in Damascus." McClatchy commendably pulled the story from two dozens sites.

Truckers are accustomed to very long journeys, but what about a line of 30,000 vehicles waiting for months on end to pass inspections and cross a border? If that sounds like beyond the realm of reason, it's because it is. Introducing Jane Arraf's tall tale of the wide loads.
UPI's Adam Schrader falsely reports that according to UN data, Israeli settlers are responsible for most of the 199 Palestinians killed in the West Bank from Jan. 1 to Oct. 6 of last year.

Reuters misleadingly reported March 13 that "Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel in October in support of Hamas," as if the terror organization's incessant attacks hadn't continued up until that very same morning.
Nearly every day, AP religiously recounts with muezzin-like regularity Hamas' latest figures for Palestinian casaulties. Meanwhile, the news agency delays and discredits when it comes to IDF-supplied data on Hamas fatalities. Sometimes updates happen only after CAMERA's nudging, resulting in underreporting of Hamas fatalities.
Imtiaz Tyab repeatedly treats unverified, disputed allegations from the designated terror organziation at face value, stating as fact that Israeli gunfire killed 115 Palestinians collecting food aid.
