USA Today Publishes BDS Press Release Almost Word for Word, Accuses Israel of 'Large-Scale Abuses of Palestinian Rights...'

I posted on this earlier, "Alicia Keys Urged to Cancel 4th of July Concert in Israel."

But I guess they cribbed the piece almost word for word from the BDS Nazis.

At Algemeiner:
The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel found itself a friend in major American newspaper USA Today recently, when a press release about its efforts to have Alicia Keys cancel her upcoming show in Israel appeared almost verbatim in an article on the newspaper’s website.

The American Journalist Jeffrey Goldberg first tweeted about the disturbing similarities Thursday, a day after the article appeared. “@USATODAY ran a BDS press release as a story. Here’s the newspaper piece Here’s the release” he wrote.
Sheesh. I'll first check with BDS before reading MSM media accounts on the boycott.
