Relentless assaults by IDF on journalists go unprotested and underreported in US media

PMWATCH - May 9, 2002 -- For an institution that prides itself in its intrepid and unapologetic quest for the truth, the US media has displayed a remarkable degree of timidity and deference to Israeli censors since the outbreak of the latest violence against Palestinians in late March, 2002. A great deal of the truth has been kept hidden from the eyes of journalists, and those who have dared to deviate from the beaten path have had some severe punishment meted out to them.

Below are some press releases from the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Please press upon the media the need to highlight to their readers and viewers the extent to which the Israeli government is doing everything it can to hamper the journalists in their quest to report on what is taking place on the ground.
