Lecture: Forced Bias: Why Does the Palestinian Authority Censor Journalists?
A Lecture by:
Khaled Abu-Toameh
What does the lack of freedom for reporters in Palestinian areas indicate about the news we receive on Palestinian matters?
Abu-Toameh is an award-winning Israeli-Arab journalist for The Jerusalem Post and NBC News. He speaks about the censorship he encountered and the continual violence orchestrated by the Palestinian Authority.
Abu-Toameh uncovered the Hamas staged blackouts of Gaza in which the Palestinian government abused its own people by canceling electricity to Gaza in a "media ploy" to make Gaza look worse than it actually is.
