Other Than That, the Story Was Accurate
“A picture caption on Tuesday with an article about Tunisia’s largest Islamist party, Ennahda, which has blamed the news media, secular elites and the country’s old ruling elite for the public anger and internal divisions that the party is facing, misstated the purpose of a demonstration last week in Tunis. It was in support of Ennahda, not against it.”–New York Times, Feb. 14
