1/ There's a letter circulating "from journalists, to journalists" that calls for abandoning journalistic objectivity in favor of anti-Israel activism.
Most signers are from fringe sites (Jewish Currents, the Intercept, Mondoweiss), but some (!) are mainstream news reporters.

2/ The names in that latter group—the handful from The @BuzzFeed, @washingtonpost, @latimes—should amount to a list of reporters that news organizations promising objective, impartial, and fair reporting should bar from touching anything related to Israel, Hamas, or the conflict.
3/ There's nothing at all noteworthy about journalists from Al Jazeera/AJ+ signing the letter:

4/ Nothing surprising about these people signing it. 
5/ Or these people.
6/ Weeeeeeeeee.
But the signatures from news reporters working for news organizations that make promises to readers—promises about adherence to the tenets of ethical journalism—are more troubling. Clearly these reporters shouldn't be covering the Arab-Israeli conflict. Or any dispute, maybe.
