For
the past week or so, I have been writing about the ominous implications
of Carl Cameron's four-part Fox News exposé of Israeli
intelligence operations in the US. My most
recent column on the subject was posted today (December 21).
Cameron's reports are, of course, key to understanding the context
of these columns: without them, there is no way to understand
either the context or the content of what I have written. We provided
links to these reports in the column, and fully expected the links
to remain valid, as Fox usually keeps its stories up for a month
or so. But not this time
.
The news that Fox had pulled the Cameron reports from its website
was, to me, quite surprising. Now, it could be a technical glitch,
a mistake, or whatever: after all, one assumes the Fox News people
want visitors to their website, and the more the merrier
right?
Israel's
amen corner in the US is vocal, well-organized, and not averse
to censorship when it advances their agenda, and so outside pressure
on Fox News to pull the series cannot be ruled out. As disturbing
as it is to contemplate, it seems that censorship is indeed a
strong possibility in this case that is, Fox News is engaging
in self-censorship, for reasons of its own.
Our
readers may wish to ask questions for themselves, or protest.
They can do so by writing foxnewsonline@foxnews.com
or special@foxnews.com.
Meanwhile,
we have redirected those links to the posted articles at FreeRepublic.com
and all I can say at this juncture is "Thank God for
Free Republic!" a place where the journalistic record
is untouched and uncensored.

Cameron Reports Some U.S. investigators believe that
Israel is spying in and on the U.S. and may have known things
they didn't tell us before September 11"
