Shocking misinformation from the BBC's Global News Director, Jonathan Munro, on whether Hamas controls how local Gazan journalists operate:
"They're not restricted in what they are able to see and show. There may be physical restrictions – for example, not many of them have much fuel to go from one town to another – but there is no restriction on what they can show, what they can see and what they can film when they're on location. There is no suggestion at all that any of those people are under any political influence."
This is utter rubbish, sadly.
Hamas's tight – and often violent – control over journalists has been well known for years. How on earth can the BBC claim not to know this?
From last month – Gaza journalists speak out about Hamas intimidation, threats, assaults.
