One week after my letters to AP and Reuters pointing out their error in identifying the Western Wall as “Judaism’s holiest site,” we have this from AP:

The archaeological dig is taking place about 60 yards away from the Al Aqsa mosque and gold-capped Dome of the Rock an area considered the third-holiest in Islam.

It is also Judaism’s holiest site, having housed the biblical Jewish temples. Jews have gathered for centuries to pray outside the compound at the Western Wall, a remnant of the ancient compound.

Grade: A. Good work, AP.

Now, to Reuters:

Israeli officials have said the dig, about 50 metres from the compound overlooking the Western Wall, Judaism’s holiest site, would last at least eight months and that no work on a walkway would start before it is completed.

And that’s an F. I sent another letter to Reuters. We’ll be watching.

Neither service, by the way, responded to me personally. Not that I expected it.
