Hi,
a big thank you to Yuri for flagging this case of manipulation of public
opinion.
Reading through the links provided - i can say WP edit time was mostly
discussed among ”pro-state” media. One journalist even went as far as
insinuating that assassination was planned in the ”west” and that WP
was used to provide for media coverage (sic!)
I think that RU:WP should ask for apologies from the newspapers.
regards,
/gheorghe

Hello,
FYI we had the same issue two years ago in Tunisia when a Tunisian
politician was shot and an IP made the edit in UTC. See our response

Finally the Radio station who relayed this "scoop" wrote an apologize
text.
