Anti-Israel Bias in UPI's "Today in History"

UPI has a strange entry in today's "This day in history." Included with the founding of NBC, the Dow breaking the 1,000 milestone and the first blood transfusion is:

In 1984 - Former Israeli Defense Minister Ariel Sharon went to court in New York with a $50 million libel suit against Time Magazine. He lost after a two-month trial.

Left out is the "rest of the story" from none other than UPI on Sept. 26, 1985:

A six-member jury in New York found that Time's report was not true and had defamed Sharon. But the jury ruled the magazine had not acted with malice, which public figures must prove to win a libel suit.

Why was this historic news?

Ariel Sharon was slandered throughout the world press for being responsible for an intra-Lebanese massacre.
