The director of Israel's Government Press Office, Daniel Seaman, accuses the Associated Press, Reuters (the ailing British company notorious for refusing to identify terrorists as terrorists), BBC (infamous for its anti-U.S. and anti-Israeli biases) and the above-mentioned networks of hiring directors and producers appointed by the Palestinian Authority who conspired with a prominent Palestinian terrorist to spin - and even fabricate - reports in favor of the Arabs. Footnote: A search of the news wires yielded no information about Seaman's allegations. This tip came from the Ayn Rand Institute.

How many would you like? google.com here, try this: Danny Seaman the director of Israel's Goverment Press Office was interviewed by Kol Ha'Ir in October 11, 02 about Palestinian influence on the media. He said: At the direct instruction of the Palestinian Authority, the offices of the foreign networks in Jerusalem are compelled to hire Palestinian directors and producers. Those people determine what is broadcast. The journalists will certainly deny that, but that is reality... Three senior producers,were coordinated with Marwan Barghouti. He used to call them and inform them about what was about to happen. They always received early warning about gunfire on Gilo. Then they shot for TV only the Israeli response fire on Beit Jala. Those producers advised Barghouti how to get the Palestinian message across better. The Palestinians let the foreign journalists understand: if you don't work with our people we'll sever contact with you, you won't have access to sources of information and you won't get interviews." Today we know, that the entire Mohammed a-Dura incident was staged in advance by the Palestinian Authority in collusion with Palestinian photographers, who worked for the foreign networks. In my opinion, that is the incident that really began the Intifada. Until then it hadn't caught on. According to Seaman Palestinian stills photographers are also part of the game. They always stage photographs, The IDF announces that it is going in to demolish an empty house, but somehow afterwards you see a picture of a crying child sitting on the rubble. There is an economic level to that. The Palestinian photographers receive from the foreign agencies 300 dollars for good pictures; that is why they deliberately create provocation with the soldiers. They've degraded photography to prostitution. In regard to the foreign media Seaman said: They're hostile,they being the French, the Spaniards, the BBC. The hostility manifests itself in the writing, the tendentious footage, the automatic adoption of the Palestinian version and the immediate suspicion of the Israeli version. In the course of the siege on Bethlehem the Palestinians claimed that we killed a monk. No one bothered to pick up the phone and speak to the Pope's representative to hear from him that nothing of the kind had happened. I accuse, particularly the European press. The correspondents reported about every slander against Israel as if it were a fact. The negligence of their coverage contributed to the anti-Semitism that is now making rounds on the continent, and that ought to lie heavily on their consciences. afsi.org
