🎤 U.S. media’s role in shaping public opinion around war is under fire—from its own journalists. Following a bombshell report by The Guardian, CNN staff are calling out their network's 'journalistic malpractice' in covering the Israel-Gaza war, accusing it of sidelining Palestinian voices. American Jewish comedian Lee Camp, in a candid interview with CGTN, argues this bias isn’t new—it’s part of a systemic pattern. 💥
‘Skewed to the Core’
CNN employees reportedly penned an open letter condemning the network’s 'systemic and institutional bias' toward Israel, with one staffer calling it a betrayal of journalistic ethics. Lee Camp, who describes the Gaza conflict as a 'genocide', notes over 27,000 deaths (mostly women and children) as of February 2024. 'This isn’t just biased—it’s endorsing mass suffering,' he says. 🔥
A History of ‘Manufactured Consent’
Camp, a Jewish writer, draws parallels to U.S. media’s past role in justifying wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. 'CNN helped sell those wars. Now they’re doing it again,' he argues, praising staffers for risking their jobs to speak out. ✊
Can Media Change Course?
With younger audiences demanding transparency, Camp urges media to center human stories over geopolitics. 'This isn’t just about Gaza—it’s about whether our media will ever prioritize truth over profit,' he says. 🌍 Will this internal revolt spark real change? Stay tuned.
