Hamas Shows Bush-Like Anger Towards Press

In America, Bush and his loyal lemmings use terms to describe the media like "Liberal Media" or "Liberal Bias", or even blast the media because they report only "Negative" stories about Iraq. So why doesn't it surprise me that Hamas, a terrorist group, says the same things about the media in the Palestinian territories.

(AP/Yahoo)"The Palestinian media is clearly biased against Hamas," complained Mahmoud Ramahi of Hamas, secretary-general of the Palestinian parliament. "What they are doing is not monitoring or criticizing. What they are doing is inciting against Hamas, in the interest of Fatah."

"It's only because they (Hamas) can't impose their agenda on us, they say we are inciting," said Mohammed al-Dawoudi, a senior official in the Broadcasting Corp., which runs the Voice of Palestine radio, Palestine TV and the official Wafa news agency.

Sort of sound familiar? No, how about this,

At least one Palestinian journalist has complained that the new government is using unfair tactics. Mattar, the radio commentator, said that after his broadcasts, he received telephone death threats from men who said they had ties to Hamas.

Our government uses the FCC to make people fall inline with their message. If that doesn't work they leak, sorry, they share false information with journalists to silence the messenger.

Glen Greenwald shows a perfect example of right wing nuts and their view of how reporting in the media should be done.
