OK, THIS IS BIAS. The WashPost headline reads: "Merchant's Son Slain As Israelis Open Fire At Busy Jenin Market." You think: "Opening fire at a busy market? That's what Serb forces used to do in Bosnia." Then you read the article and find out that the victim's family claims he was an innocent bystander while Israeli forces say that the victim tried to climb on an Israeli armored personnel carrier. There are a few quotes from "witnesses" to back up the family's account, but no verification that these witnesses have any reliable information. Come on WP, do a better job.
