A Tale of Two Newspapers

I was in Boston this weekend, and yesterday I marched in a parade to celebrate Israel. But, look how Boston's two newspapers reported the same event:

Here's the Boston Globe:

Jews, supporters march in celebration of Israel

And, now here's the Boston Herald:

Protesters greet hundreds celebrating Israel's 57th anniversary

Now, here's what happened. About two thousand people marched for Israel. At the end of the March, we were greeted by protestors - perhaps 30 people in all.

Besides the misleading headline, the Boston Herald put the number of marchers at hundreds - I can assure you that is not accurate in the least.
