Eye-Catching Ha'aretz Headline Assumes Guilt
A headline in the Internet edition of Ha'aretz yesterday reports a disputed statement by Rabbi Ovadia Yosef as fact. It states:
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef: Whoever votes for Kadima will go to hell
The article itself was much more cautious in its reporting, stating in the second paragraph:
The influential rabbi later told Shas Chairman Eli Yishai that he never made the controversial statement, adding, "Had I wanted to say such things, I wouldn't be ashamed of doing so."
But denials are details, right? Why ruin a perfectly good headline on their account?
