Palestinian Driver accidentally Hitting Jerusalem Bus Stop


The 37 year old Palestinian Khaled Koutineh accidentally drove his car into two people who happened to be waiting at a bus-stop. In response to all the accusations made against him that he has a grudge against Israeli Jews, it was confirmed earlier on that he does not have any previous criminal records or anti-Zionist connections with any group which would cause him to commit such a terrible act.

Palestinian police chief made a statement after the incident stating that there was a large amount of traffic due to celebrations of Israel's annual holocaust remembrance day which eventually led to the incident.

Also, Nasser Messis (Khaled's driver) said that the crash could also be a result of the weather, as Juraselam was under heavy rain the past couple days

Despite recent increase in deliberate attacks between the two communities that have been taking place for the past three months, Palestinian authorities assured the Israelis that the attack was not deliberate

    Saif, after reading your pastiche i can clearly see the differences between the ideology portrayed in the main article and your writing, your use of word choice like "accidentally" instead of "deliberately" conveys bias through tone and word choice and you used such terms effectively in your favor. Also, you included quotes and interviews from Palestinian perspectives rather than Israeli perspectives in order to show bias through source control. One way you could improve on your pastiche is to include statistics to further support your claim.

    WWW: I think you showed a good understanding of showing the other side of your article. With the use of the somewhat the same big headline, however the body paragraphs are completely different. This shows that the same title that is used to attract people to the article can be used for both perspectives.

    EBI: Maybe if it was a bit longer, because someone just reading your article could maybe see the lack of content as 'Bias Through Selection and Omission' and used some real sources when displaying the better side of things. Also an image could really aid with the argument you're making.

    Your pastiche lacks depth in showing the types of bias that was used from the article which was not so clear. Perhaps you can consider reading the article again, and from there start forming an opposing ideology and write it more formally.

    Mate , The idea is good, the way that you changed the tone and the language in your article to make it seem that the man is innocent unlike what is shown in the article which shows how the Palestinians are portrayed in a different light. Even better if you added more stuff and elaborated in a more efficient manner fam.

    Good job with changing the perspective in order to give the effect of omitting a specific group.
    The difference between the ideologies portrayed in the article and your own, is not evident as it lacks detail, facts and statistics. Consider demonstrating understanding of the types of biases in the media, then re-write your article based on the opposing ideologies.
