The Militant BBC

Here's the BBC headline:-


Militant attack on Israeli border


And what was so "militant"?

At least seven people are reported to have been killed following a raid by Palestinian militants near a border crossing between Gaza and Israel.


Seven?

Well, here's how they count:-

Two Israeli workers were killed as a fuel depot at the Nahal Oz crossing in northern Gaza came under attack. The Israeli army said at least two militants were killed as they fled. Another three Palestinians were killed by Israeli missiles, reports said.


That's not fair, bunching the seven together.

That's biased reporting, specious journalism. Moral inequivalancy.

Oh, sorry, we are referring to the BBC, are we not?
