I'm really getting tired of this sort of coverage.

From the BBC, on events today in Israel:

This AP Story is the likely source for the BBC story, based on similarities in language and order of presentation. A noteworthy difference is that the AP story makes it clear that the Israeli troops were returning fire in what the BBC simply categorizes as a "gunfight."

Reuter's presentation of the material is a bit more even-handed, albeit somewhat confused by an attempt to include a discussion of disengagement plans in what can best be described as a digression.

Media today... caring-less amateurs, mostly... :/

Shee, no wonder Rain doesn't respect even the more liberal mainstream newspapers.

Reuter's can be sort of one-sided sometimes... but did Abbas actually say that? (Referring to the quote in the BBC article.) I'm surprised.

Abbas' full quote is in the Reuter's source. Do be sure you're not confusing him with the IJ spokesperson.

But where is the condemnation, in any of these articles, of the stabbing?
