There’s a spat of epically horrible editing errors on Sky News, two of which I presented here. So it should come as no surprise when Sky News wrote of the “4000 year old mosques“, when reporting on the damage to historical sites in Syria.
The error was since corrected, but the original sentence said:
But I’m not in any ordinary battlefield. I am in one of the most important archaeological sites in the world – the 4,000-year-old mosques, covered markets and Citadel of Aleppo.
Here’s a cached version to prove it:
Sky News is in dire need of a new editor, preferably someone who doesn’t think Palestinians are descendants of the Jebusites.
I do urge you though to read the article, to see what real threats and damage to world heritage sites are, as opposed the the weekly rambling of Palestinian groups regarding Al-Aqsa mosque and the Zionist plot to destroy it with acid/earthquakes/Talmudic rituals/excavations/sharks with laser beams/all of the above [circle the correct answer].
