Palestine TV Boss Fired for Insufficient Coverage of Prime Minister
[Jerusalem Post] Khaled Abu Toameh - The director of Palestine TV, Muhammad Dahoudi, has been fired by Yasser Abed Rabbo for failing to give enough coverage to PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, Palestinian journalists said on Tuesday. Journalists in the West Bank accused Abed Rabbo of sending armed thugs to Palestine TV to prevent the sacked director from entering the compound. A source in Palestine TV said that Dahoudi and news editors have long been under heavy pressure from Abed Rabbo to devote much of the news bulletins to Fayyad's activities and statements. A senior Fatah official told Al-Quds Al-Arabi that Abed Rabbo lost his temper last week when Palestine TV failed to dispatch a crew to film Fayyad at a ceremony to inaugurate a village water project.
