AP picks up on the heads of the biggest media outlets (including AP’s President and CEO Tom Curley) protesting Israel’s closure of the Gaza Strip to reporters with this letter to Ehud Olmert.
Funny, but the closure didn’t stop another — ahem — AP dispatch today from breaking out the violins for the Palestinians.
Another signatory reporting similar suffering was the BBC.
Neither report gets into what I call Hamas unplugged: how Hamas stages blackouts and hoards fuel.
I’m not a fan of press restrictions, and I prefer Western journalists covering the stories than relying on Palestinian stringers. But it’s hard to have sympathy for the MSM.
