When Associated Press reporting ignores their subjects active roles in violence at the Gaza border - by Joe Truzman

...The article isn’t entirely misleading, but it does not give us the entire story on some of the Palestinians discussed. Their membership in Palestinian border units commanded by members of militant groups, and their active roles in violence at the Gaza border, puts them in grave danger of being injured, a factor which is entirely missing from the article. More research on the subjects would have revealed their membership in these violent units and would have likely changed the article dramatically.
