Updated with Correction: Another Biased Headline by Reuters

By Published On: August 25, 2016

Reuters has corrected the skewed headline we wrote about yesterday. See below.

Aug. 24, 2:30 PM: How does a Reuters headline describe a situation where a Palestinian stone-thrower pursued by the Israeli soldiers exits his car to stab one of the soldiers in the neck before being shot by the wounded soldier?

CAMERA has contacted Reuters regarding the skewed headline.

UPDATE, Aug. 25

Reuters thanked CAMERA for its communication regarding the headline, apologized and corrected. Below is the corrected headline:
