ATTENTION EDITORS - CAPTION CORRECTION FOR SJS01 - 05 WHICH WERE TRANSMITTED AT APPROXIMATELY 1725 GMT ON AUGUST 9, 2006. THE CAPTION INCORRECTLY STATES THE CAUSE OF DEATH. CORRECTED VERSIONS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW THIS ADVISORY. WE ARE SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED. REUTERS. A Palestinian man carries the body of three year-old Raja Abu Shaban, in Gaza August 9, 2006. The three-year-old girl who had been reported killed by an Israeli air strike in Gaza on Wednesday actually died of an accident, Palestinian medical workers said on Thursday. Workers at Gaza's Shifa hospital said on August 10, 2006 that the initial mistake over the cause of death appeared to have arisen because the girl's corpse was brought in at the same time as the bodies of the gunmen.

Because of talk radio (thanks, Rush!) and the Internet, the msm can't play the public like a Stradivarius any more - like they had for decades before.

Yep. They've been doing this crap for decades and getting away with it. It was real easy when they were doing this with blurry black-and-white newspaper pics. With digital pics on computer servers and quick access to information, it ain't working anymore.

"How much time passed before they issued this correction?"

It seems they wait until the damage is done

How much time passed before they issued this correction?

that is almost irrelevant and one of things MSM banks on (and has for years) in their never-ending sypathetic propandizing. The same thing was the course of the day during the 80's - they know that as long as they run things the fact they'll have some retraction down the road is meaningless; nobody ever sees or reads them except the people actually paying attention which aren't the targets of their propaganda in the first place.

Little girl killed by accident?

Does anyone know the nature of the "accident"?

Some lunatic Jihadist firing his weapon into the sky to compensate for his lack of balls, penis or the courage to show up on a battlefield with a weapon and fire it at an armed warrior?

Some lunatic Religion of "peace" enforcer kill her for appearing in public without a family male escort or her burka pulled up around her eyes?

Some white slaver with a string of child prostitutes get tired of her running away?

Who knows?
Just asking...

Semper Fi
