It’s a quote. It’s what someone said to reporters. It’s not framing
Comment on Israeli authorities have beaten Greta Thunberg, made her kiss Zionist flag
Hubi@feddit.org 16 hours agoCriticizing the source is justified IMO. If they frame something easily verifieable like Thunberg’s age like this, it severely limits their credibility right out of the gate. I don’t doubt the actual contents of the statement, but empellishing the story like this hurts only their own cause and freely hands an angle of attack to their enemies.

That statement was made by Ersin Celik Turkish activist and Sumud Flotilla participant, not The Canary. All they did was quote the source in full.
