WARNING: This is a high volume ping list

Arutz-7 has learned that the captions on pictures posted on this site on July 4th indicating that a photographer was staging a photo of the wounded Arab in the Muwasi incident were not accurate. Arutz-7 originally received the photos and the misinformation about them from another large Hebrew website - but later learned that the photos were extracted from a video showing the Arab falling and the photographer extending his arm to assist him. Arutz-7 deeply regrets this error.
Arutz-7 stands by its stories indicating that incident was not a "lynching," and that it did not occur the way in which it was portrayed on the mainstream media. Please see:

Not sure how to handle this...

I'm not surprised. Arutz Sheva has an agenda and they are very open about that. However, I haven't seen anyone accuse them of posting outright lies deliberately.
I'm not surprised. Arutz Sheva has an agenda and they are very open about that. However, I haven't seen anyone accuse them of posting outright lies deliberately.My initial thought was that the reporter was indeed telling the victim to lie down, but because he seemed badly injured, not in order to fake a story. This makes sense as well.

This is why I LOVE to go to Arutz Sheva daily. Every news source has some kind of agenda these days, but A7 still seems to be the one news source over there with the most concern for accuracy. Bravo to you A7!
