The Australian furiously denounced the blogger stories on the Red Cross Ambulance Attack here, including the following:

In his report in the Media section today, Chulov stands by the original account and says damage to the ambulance is consistent with the original claims of attack. We have done what a good newspaper should, done the leg work and reported the facts. Mr Downer may himself have fallen for the propaganda trick he is keen to warn against. While his point may be true, that most media have taken a pro-Lebanon, anti-Israeli stance, what Mr Downer's experience most highlights is the benefits of an unbiased, well-resourced, established media, as opposed to its new online cousin.

Not so fast. Others have pointed out that Chulov's original story, which, like most original stories, is the one that becomes gospel talking points, has been somewhat altered since its first appearance.

If Chulov "stands by the original account," it's on one leg.
