- media bias
I've been talking about it for weeks, and finally The Jerusalem Post and Newsweek are mentioning that Gaza is not the most hospitable place for reporters and journalists.
It is fun scooping the big boys, but it is very upsetting that organizations that have large staffs of full-time reporters are so consistently behind the curve.
In just the past week I reported about deal where the "Army of God"was possibly paid millions for Alan Johnston's release (beating MEMRI), prostitution in Mecca that wasn't reported anywhere else in the MSM, and Iran paying "martyr" families that was likely not reported anywhere else.
Why can I find things in a couple of hours a day on the Internet things that paid full-time professionals don't seem to notice?
I'm not trying to toot my own horn - I am just saying that the members of the media, even the Israeli media, are not doing their jobs.
