Many in the media have been bending over backwards to spin who’s behind the escalating violence in and around Israel.
CNN offered its contribution this morning after the building housing Joseph’s Tomb was set on fire in the city of Nablus:

“Catches fire”?
@CNN with the headline of the morning. I guess it was an electrical fire. http://t.co/ho9nS0VvmV

We’re waiting for media conclusions of a “possible lightning strike” as well.
CNN, no it didn't "catch fire" by itself, terrorists set it on fire… @CNN http://t.co/DH8GFdKsmU

Hey @benbCNN: "Joseph's tomb catches fire" not most accurate way to describe it being torched by Palestinian rioters http://t.co/jHqMWWtqIb

"Catches fire" "Fire breaks out" Spontaneous combustion? http://t.co/1ihvAaXW0d #Media

Look at the difference between @FoxNews & @CNN in reporting the destruction of Joseph's Tomb.
