TEMPLE MOUNT WATCH:

CNN, White House Falling for Palestinian Mythology?
15:58 May 24, '05 / 15 Iyar 5765 (Arutz Sheva)

A White House photo and a CNN article include "misleading" information about Jewish historic connections to Judaism's holiest site, the Temple Mount - playing into the hands of PA incitement.

It is interesting to note that the White House website has already corrected the errors in the photo caption. Would that the media would respond so quickly and responsibly with corrections.

As for CNN, I can't see that their wording is objectionable. They seemed to be trying to describe both Muslim and Jewish views of the Temple Mount with a reasonable amount of sympathy. Perhaps the objection is to their saying that the Temple Mount is "believed" to contain the ruins of the temple. True, this may be a politically correct attempt to distance themselves from the claim that a temple was there at all, but it could also refer to the fact that the actual remains of the temple architecture are still buried. I'm not inclined to make a big deal of this wording.

The Arutz Sheva article also has a good example of wild Palestinian historical revisionism.
