HonestReporting’s Yarden Frankl joins VOI’s Josh Hasten in-studio to challenge The New York Times’ use of the slogan: “Countries have Borders, Stories Don’t.” If so, he asks, “Why so little coverage of the plight of the Palestinians in Syria?” Yarden also criticizes the BBC’s interview with Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal, accusing the network of being too soft on the terrorist leader.
