Context-Free Reporting

My various media are all breathless reporting the shocking news that Israel has bombed two UN schools (NO - not the UN!), killing a few people in the process. Not a single one of these reports so far includes this small piece of context:

For some the use of the word UN is holy; I doubt the UN can effectively stop the use of their schools as rocket launching sites, but they could at least express some embarrassment.
The laziness of reporters seems to know few bounds. Or perhaps it is intentional.
