Universitas Publications and IMME released a study on media coverage of Gaza in Cyprus. Sometimes trapped, other times out of ignorance but often willfully they fell short of their responsibility to expose, explain and defend the rights of an abandoned people.

I was a White House ethics lawyer.
I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.
I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

#Cyprus: IPI is alarmed by a draft bill which would authorise surveillance of journalists & allow authorities to lift source protection. The bill - presented as part of Cyprus’ effort to align with #EMFA could actually weaken protections for the press.
Proposed Cyprus Bill Allowing Journalist Surveillance Sparks Outcry
Press freedom at risk, say watchdogs, as Cyprus law could force reporters to reveal sources. Proposed legislation allows spyware and sweeping surveillance of journalists.

There’s nothing anyone can do about the decadence of the Republican Party but Democrats like @blumenthal.senate.gov must do a whole lot more than just say the right things. If they don’t actually do more, they too will be viewed as complicit.
