Ethics Daily blasts Baptist Press exaggeration

Ethics Daily set out to correct Baptist Press overstatement of damage done Gaza Baptist Church in an Israeli air strike against a nearby structure.

Associated Baptist Press, a competitor of Baptist Press, seems to have had no trouble getting the story right.

The original Baptist Press version was a heady mix of opinion and exaggeration.

We found it enlightening to put the BP version up in a window beside the Ethics Daily analysis and read the two pieces side-by-side.

It seems to us that BP was well and properly shellacked.
