Story Error: Saudi-Arabia, Egypt, and Syria summit

Originally published

On Wednesday, we reported about an imminent summit between the leaders of Saudi-Arabia, Egypt, and Syria that did not materialize.

The sources that informed us were obviously wrong. Explanation was given the next day as to why the meeting did not take place.

We take this opportunity to communicate with you, our reader, that sometimes, sources can be honest and events fail to materialize, and sometimes sources mislead in which case they loose credibility and are not used again, and sometimes, they have an agenda and put an "angle" on a developing story in the hope of leading the event, and making it a reality before it is certain.

We try very hard to guard against this but errors do happen sometimes. We apologize for the error.
