Fact-Checking at the New York Times
(Washington Free Beacon) Adam Kredo - New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman incorrectly asserted Wednesday that Israeli settlers assassinated former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. In fact, Rabin's assassin Yigal Amir was living in the city of Herzliya at the time. The Times made the same error in a 2005 article and was forced to run a correction. Friedman also incorrectly states that singer Eric Burdon cancelled a concert in Israel following threats from supporters of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. In fact, Burdon performed in Israel on Aug. 1.
