I was away back when this happened and forgot to blog it when I got back. A revealing incident with the Guardian:
The Guardian was forced to amend an article on past Nobel Peace Prize winners on its Web site on Friday after it omitted the names of Israel’s prize winners.
Following the announcement of US President Barack Obama’s winning the 2009 prize, an article written by the newspaper’s news editor Simon Rogers listed the names of all Nobel Peace prize winners since the award’s inception in 1909. However, all of Israel’s prize winners – Menachem Begin, Yizhak Rabin and Shimon Peres – were omitted.
In the 1978 entry, Menachem Begin’s name was missing, with only Egyptian president Anwar Sadat listed. The same error occurred in the 1994 entry with Yasser Arafat the only entry and Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres missing. . .
In a statement on Friday, the newspaper blamed the mistake on a “technical issue,” saying the names was accidently omitted.
A technical issue deleted all three Israeli winners, and only the three Israeli winners? Not buying it.
