Dog Bites Man: Man Bites Dog; Newspaper Bites Man

In a previous post, I informed you that King Hussein's dog was treated in Israel - unsuccessfully.

I wrote there that this was a ridiculous journalistic event.

I was wrong. It was worse:

Correction: King Abdullah's dog wasn't treated in Israel

On March 29th, Yedioth Ahronoth reported that a sick dog said to belong to Jordan's King Abdullah was treated at an Israeli hospital. The story was published on Ynetnews as well.

A further inquiry into the story revealed that the report was incorrect, prompting Yedioth Ahornoth to issue an apology to its readers.

Oh well.
