On January 22, the CBC News website published an Associated Press article with the following unfair and misleading headline about a Palestinian terror attack at the Gaza-Israel frontier:
HonestReporting Canada contacted CBC News conveying that this headline didn’t properly explain the incident at hand and ran the risk of having CBC readers think that Israel may have killed 3 presumably innocent Palestinians after an attack that had taken place near the Gaza fence. As we told the CBC, the headline should have identified the Palestinians as either alleged assailants/attackers/infiltrators.
To the CBC’s credit, our public broadcaster recognized that this
headline was misleading and amended it to now acknowledge that the Palestinians were “attackers”.
