In reporting

ITV news tonight published fighting palestinian children taking on Israeli army,with live ammo being fired at them.Can we expect to see Iraqui child victims footage,we all know it's banned by US orders.Some reports,available via google are saying publishing child victim photo's will get said publisher assasinated.So this realy is a major change in mainstream agenda.

would love to see a source for the US ban assertion. I'd almost given up on mainstream uk tv news - for very obvious reasons.

that will just mean that people change the channel.

i do however sincerely doubt that publishers would get assassinated, sacked is much more likely, as there isn't going to be much outcry.

version one: footage gets published, publisher gets shot

outcome: inquiries, other press members latch on to one of them getting offed, the footage gets re-aired again and again, as "footage that may have cost a brave journalist's life"

version two: footage gets published, publisher gets sacked

outcome: sacked publisher says "they sacked me because i was saying the truth", rest of media is concerned about keeping their own jobs and decries the one saying the truth as somebody just upset they lost their job

Version 1) Out him as a liar and as a leak. Wait for him to kill himself to silence a most embarrassingly leak.

Version 2) Walk him out to the woods and show him how to find that obscure vein.

I don't want to spread paranoia, but be in no doubt - you are under serious threat if you truly have exposed our goverrnment. I speak from personal experience, as a survivor.
