CNN and BBC weren't the only ones to bury the Itamar story
CNN and the BBC weren't the only ones to try to bury the Itamar terror attack story. On Monday, so did Israel's 'Hebrew Palestinian daily,' Haaretz.
More than 20,000 Israelis turned out yesterday to accompany the remaining members of the Fogel family as they buried parents Udi (36) and Ruth (35), along with children Yoav (11), Elad (4), and Hadas (three months). The killings and the funerals were traumatic events touching much of Israel, but for Ha'aretz the burials did not warrant page one news.Read the whole thing.
Instead, the leading story of today's English print edition is "Israel okays 400 West Bank housing units in response to Itamar murders." It occupies five columns and is accompanied by a four column photograph and two additional graphics (a map, and a second photo). The double-decker headline is followed by the subheadline, "Building slated for main settlement blocs and isolated outpost near Bethlehem." Gideon Levy's account of his trip to devastated Japan takes up the rest of the above-the-fold space.

Although I did not document it, it appears that this was case at Yahoo News as well since the Itamar terror attack.
It's been much more important to tell us on Yahoo News' front page that men with strange boxes on their arms and forehand caused havoc on a west coast flight.
