Blatant Media Bias of the Day

A Palestinian activist throws a stone as a kind of military grenade bounces next to him during a demonstration against Israel’s controversial separation barrier in the West Bank village of Billin near Ramallah on June 13, 2008. A Palestinian suffered a severe live gunshot wound today, along with seven others who were wounded by rubber bullets, when Israeli troops dispersed a protest against Israel’s barrier in the occupied West Bank, medics and witnesses said.
Of course, that “kind of military grenade” is a tear gas canister.
But since they don’t actually kill, the AFP did not see fit to describe it as such.
It not fitting their narrative and all.

Yes, I’m aware there is something wrong with the feed. I’m just not sure why, and how to fix it.
