SHOCKING RELEVATION CNN CONTENT CENSORED BY ISRAELI MILITARY
February 14, 2024According to a report in The Intercept, an independent, online investigative media platform, CNN MUST have its content including scripts, visuals, footage, etc APPROVED by its bureau in West Jerusalem before it is permitted to be published.
The TRT World investigation revealed that media groups based in Israel are subject to Israeli Military Censor control!
This means that all their content on Gaza, regardless of where in the world it is filed, is controlled by a unit in the Israeli army tasked with censoring news organisations operating out of Israel.
OMG! Seriously!!
The information came to light after a CNN staffer, whistleblower, who was forced to undertake this process and witnessed this practice being actioned over decades at the network, broke his/her silence and agreed to speak to The Intercept on condition of anonimity.
It shouldn’t be a surprise but the fact that CNN is blatantly demonstrating bias and censorship by giving control over ALL THEIR CONTENT to one nation, and worse the military apparatus of that nation, is mind blowing!
Well we are all on notice now, if we weren’t already, that CNN editorial policy s COMPLETELY COMPROMISED!

English Script:
Chris Hollen: Last week, Secretary of State Blinken made his fifth trip to Israel, where this time he urged Prime Minister Netanyahu not to launch a major military operation against Rafah, a city in southern Gaza whose population has increased fivefold since the beginning of the war because Palestinian refugees fleeing from northern Gaza and other parts of Gaza were told by the Netanyahu government that Rafah was a safe place for them to go. Within hours of meeting with Secretary Blinken, Prime Minister Netanyahu rebuffed that request and announced publicly that he had decided to launch just such an operation against Rafah.
And yesterday, as if to rub it in, Prime Minister Netanyahu appeared on ABC Sunday television here in the United States to say that despite the requests from the United States, he had decided that Israel will launch a military operation against the city of Rafah and Madam President, this is part of a pattern, a pattern where Prime Minister Netanyahu, thanks President Biden and the United States for our substantial military assistance, but then mostly rejects our requests to take measures to protect civilians and to facilitate desperately needed humanitarian assistance to people in need. President Biden has called the bombings in Gaza, quote, indiscriminate. And the United States has repeatedly called upon the Netanyahu government to take steps to end the huge number of civilian deaths from bombing, artillery and other weaponry. The death toll now stands at over 200, excuse me, stands at over 28,000 people, over two thirds of them women and children. And what does Prime Minister Netanyahu say? He says Israel is already doing all it can. President Biden recently called Israel’s actions in Gaza, quote, over the top unquote. Prime Minister Netanyahu said he didn’t know what President Biden was talking about.
Every major international aid organization that I have spoken to and I’ve spoken to, virtually everyone says that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is the worst they’ve seen in the world ever in their decades of experience, as over 400,000 people are on the verge of starvation and the entire population of over 200 million is at crisis levels of food insecurity. Meanwhile, Israeli authorities in Gaza COGAT say there’s, quote, there’s no humanitarian crisis in Gaza, unquote. The Biden administration has repeatedly urged the Netanyahu government to allow for more humanitarian assistance into Gaza, only to be mostly ignored. The overriding message to the United States from the Netanyahu coalition is this: Thanks for giving us all the weapons. Thanks for your taxpayer support. But don’t lecture us about civilian casualties or the need to better facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance.
Madam President, I want that to sink in. Kids in Gaza are now dying from the deliberate withholding of food. In addition to the horror of that news, one other thing is true that is a war crime. It is a textbook war crime. And that makes those who orchestrated war criminals. So now the question is, what will the United States do? What will we do? What will President Biden do? President Biden must take action in response to what is happening.
