Not sure if you noticed some headline fails this week. I caught Metro (one of the free papers in NYC) with one  -- On October 31, on the page 2 summary where they highlight "5 Things You Need To Know", item 4: Six Killed as Israel Destroys Gaza Tunnel. This heading is not only misleading, but wrong. The tunnel was in Israel. The purpose of the tunnel was to facilitate the entry of Islamic Jihad terrorists into Israel, to kidnap Israelis. As a result of the destruction of this tunnel, Palestinians – Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas terrorists – were killed and wounded. No innocent civilians were harmed.
