I guess that's as close to an apology as the BBC will give - Jerusalem dog related

I note that the BBC have added a line to the end of their original piece about the alleged ordering of a dog to be stoned.
'Update 20 June 2011: This report was based on sources usually regarded by the BBC as reliable. In the light of categorical denials by rabbinical court officials, an update to this report has been published.'
The original report stays as it is and you have to  follow the link to get to the correction that I  blogged about yesterday.

If the BBC accept that their 'usually... reliable' sources were wrong in this instance surely the original article needs more than an addendum line. But then that would be if the BBC weren't so set on vilifying Israel at every opportunity.
