As if the Pallywood lies (google it) and underlying bias against Israel are not enough, you might think, at the very least, the media presents a reliable picture of whats going on in Gaza. The Foreign Press Association (FPA) seems to think otherwise. Bear this in mind next time you hear the truth from Gaza. August 11, 2014. Official FPA Statement, in full: The FPA protests in the strongest terms the blatant, incessant, forceful and unorthodox methods employed by the Hamas authorities and their representatives against visiting international journalists in Gaza over the past month. The international media are not advocacy organisations and cannot be prevented from reporting by means of threats or pressure, thereby denying their readers and viewers an objective picture from the ground. In several cases, foreign reporters working in Gaza have been harassed, threatened or questioned over stories or information they have reported through their news media or by means of social media. We are also aware that Hamas is trying to put in place a vetting procedure that would, in effect, allow for the blacklisting of specific journalists. Such a procedure is vehemently opposed by the FPA. https://youtube/watch?v=NMiG9JD2OxM
