What Media Bias?

Thu, Aug 24, 2006 at 8:08:44 am PDT

Reuters Palestinian propagandist Nidal al-Mughrabi uncorks a real winner of a biased piece: Israel kills civilian in Gaza raid.

GAZA (Reuters) - Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man and seized his brother, a senior member of the ruling Hamas movement, during a raid in southern Gaza early on Thursday, witnesses and the Israeli army said.

An Israeli army spokesman said soldiers had clashed with Palestinian gunmen in a house in the southern Gaza village of Abasan, near the town of Khan Younis, leading to the death.

Family members identified the dead man as Youssef Abu Daqqa, the brother of Younis Abu Daqqa, a prominent member of Hamas in southern Gaza, who witnesses said was detained. The army would not confirm the identity of the arrested man.

Abu Daqqa family members are known as Hamas supporters, but Youssef was described by locals as a civilian, not a militant.

And that’s good enough for al-Reuters to make it the headline.
