When it Comes to Al-Dura, Journalists Are Against Free Speech
I cannot believe that the Nouvel Obs just deleted the link to the commentaries on this petition – if they felt there were ‘inflammatory’ or ‘racist’ or any other type of inacceptable remarks (by using well-known standards…) they could have just deleted/moderated these out – but to delete everything! Why has this been noticed only by a very few people (and blogs)? For me this is a VERY black/white situation, the Nouvel Obs is also fighting AGAINST free speech. Thank you very much M. Rosenthal for talking about this situation in a very clear, objective way. I just wish the NYT, or the IHT, or the WSJ, or Le Monde, or Le Point or any of these guys would give this issue a really good look (while using the FACTS). I read the Appeal Courts ruling (in French) – wow the facts kind of speak for themselves!
ps – was also very interested in your report on RSF – I was surprised and rather destabilised by that signature, now I understand why…
