According to MSNBC, Israeli Troops killed 8 Palestinians in Gaza yesterday. According to USA Today, Israeli Troops killed 10 Palestinians in Gaza yesterday. According to CNN, Israeli Troops killed 11 Palestinians in Gaza yesterday. According to Reuters, Israeli Troops killed 12 Palestinians in Gaza yesterday. And According to the New York Times, Israeli Troops killed 13 Palestinians in Gaza yesterday. So, which is it?
According to USA Today, it was a scaled back attack. According to MSNBC, it was the bloodiest fighting in the area so far. And of course Reuters just reprinted what the MSNBC guy wrote. If it weren’t for the same date, and some specific names in all of them, they wouldn’t even appear to be the same event.
Are these news people just making this crap up? If the story is true then one, or maybe all of them, are lying to some degree. The thing about these stories is, they are about an event that happened so far away that none of their readers can actually verify the story. So basically they could just make up whatever they want. And I am starting to think that they are.

You would think these guys would check with each other before printing stuff so their stories can at least look like valid accounts of an event.
