Media Silent On Israeli Raids Of News Organizations
Pacifica Radio's Democracy Now reports: "Yesterday [Monday], Democracy Now
saw a CNN news zipper announcing that the Ramallah offices of CNN, Fox and
other networks had been raided by the Israeli military. It also said that the news
organizations had been told to run their reports by the Israeli authorities. But after
scouring the internet and wires last night, we could find no other reports of this,
aside
from a sentence buried in a CNN story confirming that 'Israeli forces raided the
offices of several news organizations and one U.S. aid organization Monday, using
gunfire and explosives to enter the buildings.' The CNN story made no mention of
having to clear reports with the Israeli authorities. But the Boston Globe reports this
morning that Israel is considering litigation against news organizations that do not
comply with its restrictions. An Associated Press report today says Israel's military
censor has ordered 'significant deletions.' ... At least 20 journalists have come under
Israeli fire since the most recent offensive began March 29, according to the Paris-
based watchdog group Reporters Without Borders. Five journalists have been
wounded, including one U.S. reporter, Anthony Shadid of the Boston Globe." Source:

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
