Här är två intressanta artiklar om AP's hantering av Israel-Palestina situationen. Reportrar som jobbat där berättar om fulspelet bakom kulisserna för att få till "en bra story". Man går så långt som att man bannlyser intervjuer med personer som skulle kunna "svara fel".
Vart känner vi igen det här från?
Den första länkade artikeln är en destillerad version av den andra artikeln, som är ganska lång och djupdykande.

Citat:
the bureau’s explicit orders to reporters were to never quote the group or its director, an American-born professor named Gerald Steinberg. In my time as an AP writer moving through the local conflict, with its myriad lunatics, bigots, and killers, the only person I ever saw subjected to an interview ban was this professor.

If, as Friedman charges based upon first hand observation, AP story lines are predetermined and “news” articles are created around its central, agreed-upon premise, then virtually all news about every flash point across the globe becomes suspect. It also means that the AP, at least in its Jerusalem bureau, violated its own principles”
Citat:
Lavie believes that in the last years of his career, the AP’s Israel operation drifted from its traditional role of careful explanation toward a kind of political activism that both contributed to and fed off growing hostility to Israel worldwide. “The AP is extremely important, and when the AP turned, it turned a lot of the world with it,” Lavie said. “That’s when it became harder for any professional journalist to work here, Jewish or not. I reject the idea that my dissatisfaction had to do with being Jewish or Israeli. It had to do with being a journalist.”
