| Hamas-Led PA Threatens Media |
| 2007-02-08 |
| [MENL] -- For the first time, the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority has threatened the media in the Gaza Strip. The Interior Ministry's Executive Force has announced a crackdown on media outlets that criticize the Hamas-led government. EF, which numbers 6,000 officers and engaged in the war against Fatah, said it would prosecute journalists, newspapers, radio and television stations deemed partial. "We will prosecute media that engages in lying and deception, and ignores the obvious realities," EF said in a statement on Thursday. The statement came in wake of the bombing of the Saudi-owned Al Arabiya satellite television in Gaza City on Jan. 22. An unknown Islamic group, Righteousness of the Swords, claimed responsibility. |

| #2 Okay, so a group that the MSM adores says that media that engage in lying and deception, ignoring the obvious realities, should be prosecuted. Works for me. Probably the only thing coming out of Hamas that I've ever agreed with. However, given the reality distortion field that is generated by palestinian terrorists, I believe the media, in this case, is probably reporting the truth... |
