cnn as resumed it's typical posture on it's knees just outside the briefing rooms set up by whichever extension of the dominant order is engaged in a military action.
the israeli supreme court ordered the idf to allow foreign journalists into gaza a few days ago.
there are some who are actually there, sending reports.
but not those from cnn.
o no.

last night, until i couldn't do it any more because it was making me too angry, there was a seemingly endless parade of idf spokesmodels wedged between "action" reporters who were standing in the middle of a field at the edge of gaza--and a smaller sequence of representatives from outlets like al-arabiya and queen noor of jordan who were confined to some mutant larry king show.

so the idf marketing of war is classified as news while opposition voices are opinion.

way to fucking go.
