Shot in the Dark

Literal

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.

    OK, so, Duranty is a marker as an enemy. What did he do, apart the scale of his lies (and his Pulitzers) that was different to the lies from the Vietnam war (especially the Tet offensive) or Watergate? Or acting as uncritical spokesmen for virtually every DemoCommie/Big State policy including those that injured or killed thousands.

    I see that lawsuit as the result of actions by the media that is both an enemy and also never held accountable and so becomes ever more extreme.

    What will be interesting to see is if the plaintiffs can give an indication that AP and Reuters knew, or should have known, about the terroristic tendencies and associations of those guys. If they can’t prove it, it’s millions, but if they can, we can be talking hundreds of millions of dollars to billions in damages.

    Even something as simple as a review of travel records and expenses would say a lot about whether they ought to have known.

    Regarding travel, they crossed an international border to get there. If they crossed a day or two earlier, they, and their employers, knew what was going to go down. If they crossed with the terrorists, same thing.
