The time has come for @CNN @MSNBC and @FoxNews to stop hiding and start telling the story of what is happening in Israel-Palestine in a manner that is consistent with professional journalistic norms.

Maybe they don’t want to, or can’t tell this story through the rich lens of the humanity it is so redolent with.
That’s OK.
It would be suffice to tell it straight up and down in the manner of @bbcworldservice
bbc.co.uk/programmes/w17…
But radio silence is not acceptable.

There are exceptions, @11thHour and the dam is breaking.
But this is the story that must be told at this moment in time by all media. This is a naked obscenity taking place live on TV under a spotlight. edition.cnn.com/videos/tv/2021…

Today’s @johndickerson interview with @IsraeliPM Netanyahu is exhibit one showing why this is necessary.
And necessary today.
U.S. political and media deference to Israel’s unacceptable and obscenely inhumane actions many years has led directly to today’s horror show.

Yesterday’s Cable TV Sunday shows have broken the dam it seems.
@FoxNewsSunday with Chris Wallace
@FareedZakaria’s Global Public Square
@CNNSotu with @DanaBashCNN
All had segments.
But the story is not being told in a manner that informs the U.S. Public about the news facts.

This is a global crisis, impacting on billions of people of faith. Israel matters deeply to a majority of Americans. Yes it is a moral minefield. Yes it is hard. But none of these considerations provide a reason to consider it “un-newsworthy”.

And the TV anchors of The U.S. public debate are seven days late. #gazaunderattack is not a story that should rank 3rd out of 5.
Nor is it a story that should be domesticated as an American foreign policy challenge for @JoeBiden.

Starting today - Day 8 of the post-provocation hot war, obscenely dangerous phase of this crisis - the Gaza story should be at or near the top of the run-sheets of everyone.
