On two consecutive days this week, journalists reporting from the Gaza
war zone who evinced empathy for the Palestinians and less than
unquestioning support for Israel were removed by television network
executives.
These incidents underscore the ironclad and rigidly enforced
self-censorship practiced by the corporate-controlled media, which
hardly bother any longer to disguise their role as purveyors of
government lies and propaganda. Any evidence of sympathy for the plight
of the Palestinians, any hint of criticism of Israeli war crimes is met
with instantaneous banishment, generally followed by blacklisting.
The removal of the two reporters, particularly Mohyeldin, is intended as
a warning to any other journalists who retain some commitment to
journalistic principles and respect for the truth to keep their mouths
shut. Under no circumstances can the people be given access to an honest
and objective account of what is taking place in Gaza.
