Media watchdog says it was just 'raising questions' with insinuations about photographers and Hamas
The head of an Israeli media watchdog says it was simply ‘raising questions’ by wondering whether Palestinian photojournalists who documented the Oct. 7 attack on Israel had been tipped off in advance that it had happened.
I suppose this gives them clearance to now start bombing journalists
Is there any appropos way of saying that one is simply inquiring in a manner they are entitled to so so and on the basis of its currency to the public or whatever stakeholders to whom they consider their audience?
I mean, I'm improvising a response here, but, in the context of targeted killings of dozens of journalists by Israel? In private, until you have absolutely indisputable facts, that would be my thought.
Known in the trade as JAQing off.
I had the same thing in mind. Implication by bad-faith inquisition.
Is this more of a right thing than left? I know someone close to me who is a smart individual but on occasion I can just tell their insane inquiry was copy pasted from some "news" org or podcast aha?
Maybe investigate before hurling accusations.
In short, HonestReporting lied. They have no evidence that the reporters had anything to do with Hamas other than being there when the event happened.
Of course, the group admits to this only after the Israeli government has stated that it's adding those reporters to the "to be killed" list as being the same as Hamas terrorists.
