Exasperated conservatives sometimes refer to the media as “the enemy”.
It’s understandable – the media at the editorial and national level is in general a PR firm for Big Left – and accurate in terms of long-term effect.
But not since Walter Duranty has it been quite this literally true.
Five Israeli families are suing the AP and Reuters for their “journalists” obvious collusion with Hamas on October 7:
The lawsuit filed by the victims’ parents last week alleges that five photojournalists, Hassan Abdel Fattah Eslaiah, Hatem Ali, Mohammed Fayq Abu Mostafa, Ashraf Amra, and Ali Mahmoud who filed photographs in real time of the atrocities being perpetrated by Hamas terrorists were in fact a component of the attacks themselves, and were not conducting legitimate journalistic work.
The journalists were either aware ahead of time that a mass invasion and terror attack was about to be staged by Hamas or, being present from the very outset of the attacks, were culpable for doing nothing to stop the assault, including failing to warn the Israeli authorities, the suit asserts.
While the free market is having its real final say with Big ProgressiveMedia, a little economic justice would be welcome. FIngers crossed.
