CNN's Coverage of Israel/Palestine Under Scrutiny Amid Censorship Concerns
CNN has acknowledged following a longstanding policy that involves reviewing its Israel and Palestine coverage through its Jerusalem bureau, which is subject to Israeli military censorship. Critics argue this practice results in biased reporting that favors Israeli narratives and downplays Palestinian perspectives. The network insists its interactions with the IDF censor are minimal and defends the policy as a means to ensure accuracy, but internal sources and media watchdogs express concern over the suppression of terms like "war-crime" and the slow approval of Palestinian sources. The issue highlights the broader problem of potential media bias and censorship in conflict reporting.
