JERUSALEM, Israel -- The Associated Press is facing some heat for its offensive headline following Thursday's terror attack in Jerusalem.
The AP's initial headline read, "Israeli Police Shoot Man in East Jerusalem," with no mention that police were responding to a terror attack.
The vehicular attack injured seven people and killed three month-old Chaya Zissel Braun, who held dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship.
After repeated complaints, AP changed the headline to "Car Slams Into East Jerusalem Train Station. And finally, AP acquiesed to complaints, changing it to "Palestinian Kills Baby at Jerusalem Station." But there are still calls for the wire service to identify who is responsible and to take action.
Meanwhile, the terrorist, Abdel Rahman Al-Shaludi, who ran over pedestrians waiting at a light-rail station, is being hailed as a martyr on Fatah's Facebook page.
Fatah is the party of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, who's been hailed as an iron-clad peace partner by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.
It’s hard to believe that first headline “Israeli Police Shoot Man in East Jerusalem” is actually the story about the terrorist who killed an American citizen baby.
That is vile propaganda.
Our MSM is really out of control.
If it was Reuters, the headline would be: “Jewish extremist damages Palistinean vehicle”
Does AP generate its own syndicated headlines today? It does sound biased, they could at least have used such weasel words as “suspected terrorist.”
It certainly is.
Pravda did it as an arm of the state. You could almost forgive people for being forced to air the propaganda.
These dregs we have are doing it by choice.
Talk about your anti-Western bottom feeders...
But what can be done.
Part of this is their being weak kneed and being hounded by activist Muslims. Said Muslims have learned from other American social activism that throwing tantrums gets them their way.
What can be done: put our faiths back in God. We treat God like he was in Timbuktu sometimes and only rarely comes for visits.
They simply got the Jerusalem meme mixed up with the Ferguson meme.
It’s easy to do.

Thanks for the reminder.

Honestly, as Conservatives we’re too nice.
We need to band together and picket places like this. And I’m talking tens of thousands of people.
It also occurs to me that there needs to be another wire service, one that actually gives a damn about our nation and Western values.
FoxNews, for all the talk is also too far Left. Some of the stated facts during lead-ins on the network concede far too much ground. They are Leftist premises from the get go.
K-12th grade schools
Universities
MSM
The government itself
These entities are owned lock stock and barrel by the Left.
They wouldn’t let us get away with this. Why do we allow them?
That may figure in. It could be some numbskull who went so fare out of his way not to insult Islamists, that he insulted others instead.
It certainly was insulting, misleading, brain dead...
Really. You can see the newsroom folks rolling their eyes, shrugging their shoulders and saying "what can we do? Ivan wants it this way.".
But here - it's imbued through and through.
But we had better figure out a way before those more comfortable within a socialist mob make that attribute an impossibility.
The Russians knew they were be lied to. I’ve read some of the euphemisms they used to recite based on the reality of it.
I agree with your take on it.
I agree.
An elderly black gentleman in Atlanta I befriended once during a stay for training told me “television? Tell a vision? Tell you what to think.”
He was wise. And right.
