"Tectonic shifts in Israeli broadcasting have played a key role in shaping the country’s nationalist and militaristic discourse, with Oct. 7 marking their apex."

"Military reporters at Israel’s major news outlets consistently neglect to investigate the army and its conduct. October 7 is their failure too."

"Even high-ranking Israeli military officers seem to be aware of the difference between local and foreign press. A month ago, a few such officers approached an American outlet, rather than an Israeli one, to share their concerns about the incompatibility of the goals of the ground operation in Gaza: dismantling Hamas and freeing all of the Israeli hostages."

"The Jerusalem bureau has long reviewed all #CNN stories relating to #Israel and #Palestine. Now, it’s helping shape the network’s coverage of the war."

"Every CNN journalist covering Israel and Palestine must submit their work for review by the news organization’s bureau in Jerusalem prior to publication, under a long-standing CNN policy."

One member of CNN’s staff described how the policy works in practice. “‘War-crime’ and ‘genocide’ are taboo words,” the person said. “Israeli bombings in Gaza will be reported as ‘blasts’ attributed to nobody, until the Israeli military weighs in to either accept or deny responsibility. Quotes and information provided by Israeli army and government officials tend to be approved quickly, while those from Palestinians tend to be heavily scrutinized and slowly processed.”

@diymusicchat when it comes to #professionalism in groups with certain shared goals, one might need to establish hard rules about the lines one should and should not cross.

For my part, I found one of MY hard lines that can not be crossed is that one member can not bring shame on the group. I had to communicate, and act with measured intent while things could still perhaps be resolved.

I believe correction is possible and should be offered as an option when appropriate.

@Cyrus @diymusicchat absolutely with you on the religiousness. There has to be a match in motivation.

I also agree, that if casual party is the vibe that's ok. But if it is really time to get things done, it has to move smoothly. Intoxicants get in the way of that, for many.

#Professionalism has to come first, especially for a group.

Professionalism requires reflection on the quality and effectiveness of: (1) one's own professional thinking and acting in practice; (2) the knowledge, instruments and interventions that are used.
