Media Crossing the Line on Gaza Flotilla
(Ynet News) Simon Plosker - We should all be extremely concerned by the announcement that among those sailing on the imminent flotilla to Gaza are journalists representing mainstream media, including the New York Times and camera crews from CNN and CBS. This is a clear example of the symbiotic relationship between the media and the anti-Israel agitators behind the flotilla. Since both the flotilla participants and the accompanying media need each other, can we honestly count on these embedded journalists to report on the situation with objectivity as the "activists" play for the cameras? Israel would do well to remind those journalists on board the flotilla that they will be active participants in an illegal attempt to break what is a legal naval blockade under international law.
