Who is the most accurate ? AP or Al Jazeera ? AP says 16 dead..?
Edited on Sat Jun-19-04 06:09 PM by kentuck
Al Jazeera says 22 dead and 20 injured? Who will be most accurate when the final tally is given? Has AP understated the casualties? Has Al Jazeera overstated them? Is it an insignificant detail?

9. I have more trust in Al J
than the fucking whore newsrooms that are paid by GE pimps, that make their profit by pouring on more bombs.

6. In other news, Reagan is still dead!
He has not yet risen from the grave, as was speculated by some sects.

3. AP, of course.
Al-Jazeera I don't trust to tell me the correct date.

10. You'll never turn somebody like him away from such an opinion on this
it's not worth the effort..

That's a great movie, by the way.

5. AP's using the "official" # in the headline,
but I think they mention that hospitals are reporting the 22 number, which al Jazeera uses in its headline

8. I would trust al-J over AP..
Cf. AP's latest spin on this massacre, which just happens to mirror the version (lie) put forth by occupation spokesman General Kimmet. The figure of 16 was an early report; if the local grave-diggers report 22, I would go by that.
