It is not being pedantic to expect news organizations to get things correct. Considering that woman called her niqab a niqab in the video they showed, it would not have been hard to determine it was niqab. **News organizations have a duty to fact check. **Either they did not fact check or they lied. Either way, their coverage was unacceptable and false.

Just because the Show did not use the Technical Term for what She was wearing does not mean they have NOT Proved She wasn’t Lying. Which they have, IMHO.
You’re Nitpicking. :rolleyes:

They called a niqab and burqa. Big deal. The fact remains. She lied about the actions of a police officer. Went all the way to court. The fact that they referred to a niqab as a burqa. makes little difference. Facts were checked. And one tiny issues was over looked.Every thing else measured up as correct. Which doesn’t mean the report was false about what happened. And how can you say they lied when there was video evidence proving the muslim a liar. And court testimonies proving what had happened? Wheres the lie? Again. A mistake does not a lie make. Even a very tiny one. I guess some people don;t want to accept facts, and will use any minor mistake, to take attention away from the main issue.

Seeing that your first two linked articles both say that the two words are frequently interchanged, I can not trust you at all due to lack of fact-checking.

He did not fact check or chose to lie. Either way, his comment was unacceptable and false.

Next up, confirmation bias fallacies.
