Should ABC "News" be shut down? They are now directly and openly distributing Hamas propaganda

Link to the video?

Did you just awaken from a coma?

Even you can't be this stupid, right?

Right?

Local affiliates have a broadcast license that requires them to operate in the public interest.

The freedom of the press whether you like their opinion or not is tantamount to a free society, to even think of shutting a source down that you find is untruthful is a big mistake and leads to fascism.

I don't get some people's priorities. First and foremost, there is need to investigate whether these claims from various sources on the matter are true. If they are, then our nation needs to clamp down on Israel. If they're not, then let's talk about ABC.

So you don't have a link. That's what I thought, Hamasnik.

No. We can't start arbitrarily shutting news organizations.

Unless you find they are providing material support for Hamas.

Mere opinion supporting a thing does not always equate to actively supporting a thing.

Unless you find they are providing material support for Hamas.

That's the part I'm wondering about.

It's hard to believe ANYONE in America thought this was ok to publish.

Hamas is an internationally recognized terrorist group, and ABC is openly distributing their propaganda, even attributing the lies directly to the terrorist group.

Not sure this can stand in a western country.

Also note that the story contains no photos, no videos, and no evidence other than the word of terrorists, but ABC published it as fact.

Somebody broke from parroting the Likud PR department.

Maybe they should change their name to Al-Jazeera, or RU Pravda-East.

The OP, as usual, is advocating for one of the key tenets of fascism...control of the media.
