No, really.
JERUSALEM, Dec 3 (Reuters) – A rocket fired from the Gaza Strip slammed into southern Israel on Sunday in the latest violation of a truce called a week ago, an Israeli military spokeswoman said.
There were no injuries caused by the rocket that struck a collective farm near the Israel-Gaza border. So far more than a dozen rockets have been fired despite the ceasefire, none causing any casualties.
Granted, there’s the usual “but-there-were-no-injuries” caveat, although no “crude, homemade” adjective added, but still—there was no “But Israel violated the truce, too!” finger-pointing.
Just the facts.
Holy crap. Write this down in your diary.
I like the headline: “Rocket fired at Israel from Gaza despite truce”
What? Not rockets? Only one?
Ya know, it could have been a misfire or .. or .. a rogue element within the Hamas … or … or … perhaps this is proof … proof (!!!) that Reuters is fair and balanced.
No worries, Meryl, if this is an example of Rueters being unbias, they have a long way to go.

Geez… I spelled Rueters wrong again.
Well, maybe when they start fact checking their articles, I’ll start spell checking Rueters’ name…

How can there be a truce if Arabs are firing rockets?

Masters of the obvious.

Some editor at al-Reuters will be fired for not editing out the truth.

Reuters let an unvarnished fact creep into a story? The Age of Miracles is not over.
If they keep this up they’ll someday reach the journalistic level of The National Inquirer. Well, I suppose even Reuters can dream.
