The silence of the United States media on the murder of Al Jazeera journalists in a targeted attack by Netanyahu & the IDF speaks to the lack of integrity that now pervades our media. To date, Netanyahu & the IDF have murdered over 200 journalists & their families. The cowardice is telling

  1. Just because Israel is in the Old Testament and a free country today doesn't mean they were/are without sin and crime; murderers, rapists, torturers, evil, blasphemers, adulterers, pedophiles, idolaters ... every sin imaginable.

    It is fine and necessary to call them out for what they are doing.

  2. MSNBC, at 9:00 am just gave had a story about the journos that were killed and the war, in general. They said the only purpose the war serves is to help Netanyahu stay out of jail.

  3. We don't have journalists in the US. We have vacuous talking heads whose only talents are preening in front of a mirror and reading a teleprompter. Spineless kowtowing to their billionaire masters is their primary job. After that is brand management.

  4. Some of the US journalists whose stories on this are being spiked will have been personally acquainted with the murdered Al Jazeera men.

  6. No different here in the UK when it comes to mainstream media - none of them worth your time watching

  7. Democracy Now has/will do extensive coverage of the murder of these individuals. Mother Jones as well. I'm sure The Atlantic will cover it. Will check The Washington Post today.

  8. Racism and a pro-israeli bias. Brown journalists arent "real" journalists, so their deaths dont really matter.

  9. The media is complicit. Every major news outlet is now considered "assets" for a holding company or a billionaire with an agenda. The last bastion of truth is the individual witness with video evidence; that's why the rich are investing in machines that can fake anything.

  10. The only reason I knew about it is because I read Al Jazeera. I can’t rely on US mainstream media and that’s been for years

  11. Incontrovertible evidence is all over the media that the guy in question was a Hamas terrorist and on the payroll of Palestinian Authority.

  12. Did u read of any foreign journalist killed in Gaza apart from those with dual citizenship?

  13. CNN is awful, but Clarissa Ward was pretty firm this morning, chastising news orgs for not pushing Israel on Gaza access and safety of journalists. She pretty much stated the IDF targets journalists, especially Palestinians/al Jazeera folks. Of course, CNN will prolly squash her now.

  14. 100% if ANYBODY should be screaming about journos getting deliberately murdered in a warzone it's other journos.

    Unfortunately there seems to be a distinct lack of those in the US these days...

  15. NBC: "Five Al Jazeera journalists were killed in a targeted Israeli airstrike in Gaza on Sunday ... with the Israel Defense Forces claiming one was a Hamas leader posing as a journalist" Even if 1 were Hamas/enemy, other 4, who are civilians, are little more than collateral damage, thus expendable?

  16. Silence? It was the first item on CNN yesterday pushing over other news items. If anything Western media has a fetish obsession with Gaza that cannot be explain with so many other issues like Darfure (UAE using US and UK weapons)

  17. The silence? The 1% own 90% of an UNREGULATED MSM. There is no integrity in journalism any longer.

  18. It was covered by MSNBC. Then it was covered by reporters on television. It was also covered by many newspapers because of Reuters. Also everything I saw in magazines. www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

    Rights advocates said Anas Al Sharif had been targeted for his frontline reporting on the Gaza war and Israel's claim lacked evidence.

  19. Netanyahu, trump, Putin and other right-aligned leaders are not a random assortment of wackos, but a concerted group of criminals aligned with the single intent of becoming one global authority. News media is actually showing their integrity by not covering these actions.

    Perspective.

  20. The IDF are a gang of roving criminals bent on the elimination of a people. It’s called genocide and the world is watching.

  21. This incident brings to mind the Collateral Murder tragedy in 2007. Although, in 2007 people actually had “shame“. Netanyahu has no shame about anything.

  23. The US media is silenced. They’ve been extorted and threatened and are mostly owned by the oligarchs who want the future to belong to them and their greedy ideology. The silence doesn’t speak of dead journalists or protesters against occupation of our cities or the tyranny of the regime.

  24. It’s because Trump is involved. I watch a lot of foreign press and it’s so much that the American people never hear about if they are only watching American MSN. So you are right and this is not the first time the American MSN has completely blacked out stories That the American people need to know.

  25. US mainstream media is bought and owned by the same people who have bent the knee to the tanned fool, they quit winnable cases because they are afraid of tweets on his failing platform and scared of crazies in red made in China hats. Another reason I'm glad I'm in Scotland.

  26. The buffoon has managed to induce compliance by frightening all in the media. Those not frightened that he will close them down are frightened for their personal safety. Some brave souls persist in resisting but the consensus seems to be “don’t rock the boat, there are sharks in the water”.

  27. Lol, "Al Jazeera journalists" is a contradiction in terms. They're a Hamas propaganda arm and had it coming. More terrorist garbage got taken out.

  28. The MSM is terrible because of that one. Boycott them as much as possible. Maybe one of the ridiculously rich jackass corporations will get their head out of their ass and tell the truth. I am not hopeful though😱

  29. Most of the U.S. corporate media are pampered babies who won’t rock the boat because they have a mortgage and kids in private school.

  30. They weren’t journalists. They were terrorists pretending to be journalists and like usual the world is choosing to believe Hamas. Al Jazeera is not a good news source due to their affiliation with Hamas.

    Fuck Hamas. Free the hostages.

  31. What? Over 200 journalists? Seriously? That is extremely poor form. It's wrong to target civilians. And aid workers, journos, clerics, and children are categories of civilians that they should really really not target.

  32. The US media is too scared to accuse Israel of the war crimes that they are still committing: killing journalists and aid workers, using starving Palestinians as target practice, and watching children die of starvation while aid trucks filled with food wait for Israel to allow them in.
