CNN Removes Reporter Diana Magnay From Israel-Gaza After ’Scum’ Tweet
▻http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/18/cnn-diana-magnay-israel-gaza_n_5598866.html
CNN has removed correspondent Diana Magnay from covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict after she tweeted that Israelis who were cheering the bombing of Gaza, and who had allegedly threatened her, were “scum.”
“After being threatened and harassed before and during a liveshot, Diana reacted angrily on Twitter,” a CNN spokeswoman said in a statement to The Huffington Post.
“She deeply regrets the language used, which was aimed directly at those who had been targeting our crew," the spokeswoman continued. "She certainly meant no offense to anyone beyond that group, and she and CNN apologize for any offense that may have been taken.”
The spokeswoman said Magnay has been assigned to Moscow.

U.S. media execs prefer biased reporting on Gaza

If Magnay’s use of the word “scum” was so regrettable, what would have been a more appropriate way of describing this group of Israelis?
Bloodthirsty. Savage. Callous. Inhumane. Hateful. Vengeful. Sadistic.
Any of those terms could have been accurately used by Magnay and yet there’s no doubt that CNN would have been just as apologetic.
The only way she could have reported what she was witnessing right next to her and avoided criticism, would have been to say nothing at all.
This is what American media too often now demands from its reporters who cover Israel: silence or unabashed bias in favor of the Jewish state.
