I never did get an answer to my letter to the AP, asking why they keep using the phrase “traditionally Arab” to describe east Jerusalem.
But I notice that phrase hasn’t been used lately. The AP seems to be using just the words “east Jerusalem,” and not capitalizing “east,” which is, at least, progress. There is no such city as East Jerusalem, and I wish Jennifer Rubin at Contentions would stop referring to the nonexistent city.
I guess my fans over at AP don’t have the stones to respond to me, but their editors can’t deny facts when presented to them.
When I complained to my local newspaper about capitalizing the “e” in east Jerusalem, their explanation was “The New York Times does it”. UGH!!!
“I guess my fans over at AP don’t have the stones to respond to me, but their editors can’t deny facts when presented to them.”
Oh, I’ll bet they can. Easy as pie. The New York Times does it all the time. Remember Eason Jordan remarking about CNN’s coverage of Iraq under Saddam? All the liberal MSM do it.
