Al-Dura and the “Public Secret” of Middle East Journalism
France2 and Charles Enderlin are going to regret suing Karsenty. If it weren’t for this, the issue would probably have died out. Instead, whatever the result of the Karsenty trial, the issue has surged to the forefront and enhanced discussion of media reliability in previously uninterested circles.
Also, I expect France2 are in for a few lawsuits, for it is now clear that at the very least they had no proof for the original libel, and that after a while they knew the unproven libel was being used for incitement to murder. I suppose a few lawyers are already looking into the legal implications.
