The Media - BBC "inaccuracies"
Apparently, the media is sloppy and inaccurate all over the world.
Unfortunately, their corrections don't have the same impact.
Now, if I were in charge, corrections would be required to be in double-sized print, and on the front page, along with a year-to-date running count of how many there are.

The Jerusalem Post discusses the latest "inaccuracies":
"The BBC has apologized for significant errors in two recent news reports on Israel.
In a news item on March 7, following the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva attack, the BBC showed a bulldozer demolishing a house, while correspondent Nick Miles told viewers: 'Hours after the attack, Israeli bulldozers destroyed his family home. Later, mourners set up Hamas and Islamic Jihad banners nearby.'
The house, however, was not demolished; the BBC was embarrassed when news reports from other broadcasters showed the east Jerusalem home intact and the family commemorating their son's actions."
