Associated Press CEO Gary Pruitt Confirms the AP Works in a Hamas Operated Facility
Was the AP paying rent to terrorists or accepting a gift from terrorists?
The CEO of the Associated Press claims he is “shocked and horrified that the Israel military would target and destroy the building housing AP’s bureau and other news organizations in Gaza.”
This is a very important admission from the head of a global news organization. The building Israel blew up is actually an intelligence facility for the terrorist group Hamas. This is a statement of objective fact that is not actually in dispute.
Gary Pruitt, with his statement, is admitting the Associated Press worked out of Hamas’s building. Al Jazeera and other media enterprises were in the building as well.
Do you really believe the Associated Press is capable of telling the truth of the situation when its reporters are working in the same building as terrorists and that building is owned by those terrorists?
This is a truly stunning admission and another example of why American citizens may not be getting the whole truth from the press on what is happening in Israel right now.
It is also extremely notable that the Associated Press’s statement on the matter acknowledged the Israelis gave advanced notice of the building’s destruction so the reporters could get out safely, but the AP failed to acknowledge the building is a Hamas intelligence facility.
I was a journalism major in college (UGA Grady School of Journalism) and I was taught to believe that journalists were held to a high standard of objectivity, fact based reporting and should remain at a great distance from conflicts of interest. It continues to astonish me that organizations like the AP, that once were held up as bastions of factual reporting, that other news organizations used as the source for TRUTH and ACCURACY, are now hip-deep in the mire of political and partisan muck. I have no faith in any media outlet at all except for individuals like you and several others who break it down and pull back the scrim (scum) to shine the light on all this dark behavior. It's disgusting and so disappointing to see this happening in the larger world.
My first reaction is: gee, not surprising. Maybe I have become a bit jaded. I put no trust in the mainstream media sources at all. I stopped watching them. I don't read them on my newsfeed with rare exceptions. They are not to be trusted. Period.
