The Associated Press (whose articles are published in hundreds if not thousands of newspapers/publications) changed their story after I emailed them. This shows the impact that we can have as world opinion weighs heavily on the conflicts in the Middle East. I encourage everyone to participate by letting your voice be heard.
In the AP 8:30am edition earlier this week, the AP had a piece called "Turkey says Flotilla raid was 'cause for war'". In it, they had the tendentious statement that "a rift between former allies Israel and Turkey has deepened over Israel's refusal to apologize for the attack that killed nine activists on board a Turkish ship".
Here was my letter to them:
Dear Editors,
The "rift" as you call it between Israel and Turkey is not because of Israel's "refusal" to make an apology for the Flotilla incident but because of Turkey's demand for one. Please correct this.

In a later version, the line was removed!
