Every CNN journalist covering Israel and Palestine must submit their work for review by the news organization’s bureau in Jerusalem prior to publication, under a long-standing CNN policy. While CNN says the policy is meant to ensure accuracy in reporting on a polarizing subject, it means that much of the network’s recent coverage of the war in Gaza — and its reverberations around the world — has been shaped by journalists who operate under the shadow of the country’s military censor.
The CNN staff member described how the policy works in practice. “‘War-crime’ and ‘genocide’ are taboo words,” the person said. “Israeli bombings in Gaza will be reported as ‘blasts’ attributed to nobody, until the Israeli military weighs in to either accept or deny responsibility. Quotes and information provided by Israeli army and government officials tend to be approved quickly, while those from Palestinians tend to be heavily scrutinized and slowly processed.”
It’s not the Jews controlling the media it was Isreal the whole time! So close conspiracy boys!
Thats a bit tautological.
Only if you’re an anti-Semite.
Where?
CNN cannot claim to be a news organization if it is operating under this arrangement, especially without disclosing it with every single relevant report that it issues.
I used to really respect and value CNN, but after the recent-ish leadership change I don’t see much value in their reporting
When? 1997??
