Ha'aretz "Corrects" Story Because of Mostly Kosher

A few days ago I showed how Ha'aretz had negligently reported that the US State Department had for "the first time" cited settler violence as terrorism.

I had a look again at the story today, and surprise the word "first" has been deleted from the title of the page. Here is the original title:


Here is the current page:



As you can see they changed the title to remove the "first" claim. The same corrections were made in the Hebrew version of the article - only there they left a double gap in the first sentence where they deleted the  word "first" (לר×�שונה) used to be.


Ha'aretz did not post a correction (or at least I haven't found it).

The Guardian continues to publish the story, despite it being debunked.

***UPDATE***

I have been told that on the printed edition of Ha'aretz (24.08.12) there was a short correction stating:
"בניגוד לפרסו� בעמוד הר�שון (ה�רץ, 19.8) �ין זו הפע� הר�שונה שמשרד החוץ של �רה"ב מגדיר �לימות מתנחלי� "טרור".

"Contrary to that stated in the front page (Ha'aretz 19.08) this was not the first time the US Department of State classified Settler violence as terror".
