Granted, It's Dog-Bites-Man At This Point

Eye On The Post looks at minuscule coverage of a Palestinian terrorist attack on Israel:

Yesterday Palestinian terrorists in Gaza fired rockets at the Israeli town of Sderot. The rockets missed their mark and killed and wounded numerous Palestinian women and children in Gaza. The Post buried the report in one tiny paragraph in the World in Brief section. Leo Rennert's letter below points out the miniscule coverage given by the Post to Palestinian deaths at the hands of Palestinian terrorists compared with the Post's prominent coverage of Palestinian deaths at the hands of Israeli forces.

This rocketing of Sderot is often a daily occurrence. When terrorists fire these rockets at Sderot they're firing on Israelis in an Israeli town. Yesterday a demonstration of settlers happened to be taking place in Sderot, and who did the Post say the terrorists were firing on? "Palestinians fired rockets at Israeli settlers gathered for a massive protest...."

One other oddity was found in this tiny report. The terrorists who launched the rockets at Sderot were called "gunmen." The sentence read: "Witnesses said gunmen fired three rockets at the Israeli town of Sderot." A rocket is hardly a gun, but if the author was not allowed to call them terrorists, what's left? Perhaps "militants" is becoming hackneyed. How about rocketeers?
