If we think we are, we should be right now in teaching the scandal. But as the hours move, you hardly hear anything: only the lowest echo appears on the Internet, think, copy and paste! And the original news, in its loneliness, is getting lower and lower on the first kilometric page of the media that has published it.

However, it should be a compulsory reading for those of us who are involved in the information profession. Also for those who consume the news a little bit responsible...

Sunday afternoon, determined dissatisfaction with football, published The Guardian: ‘CNN staff say network’s pro-Israel slant amounts to ‘journalistic malpractice’’. The headline is not one of the reminders of journalism classes, except for the teaching of euphemisms. It can be said that journalist McGreal also writes on tiptoe; it is no wonder that whoever is going to wrap his neighbor's manure, remember what he has on his crown. Because is there a lot of difference in treatment that CNN and other renowned Western media like The Guardian have given to the Gaza massacre?

That is the essence of the long story of 4,500 words: The queue of measures, orders, recommendations and prohibitions that journalists and CNN workers from within have led to the daily practice of the news chain having too “Israeli bias.” This is what some professionals have approved in a determined and determined way. Jake Tapper, Anderson Cooper, Sara Sidner, Fairies Gold, Tim Langmaid... Many of the familiar faces of CNN and top leaders appear to offer clear testimonies of this “bias.”

And above all, Mark Thompson, the lead editor and CEO who left indications of it on the BBC ... And by chance, or from October 7 to two days, what was appointed for that ultimate responsibility.

Everything points to journalists and workers who have not found a more dignified way out than filtering data and explanations to another medium, which cannot be said suspicious.

The result is a story of how a famous media has become a tool of dead war propaganda. Or if you want to update the expression: a tool for cognitive warfare.

In a war, the old opinion states that the first death is true. But it is seldom counted as precisely how those who should be servants of it kill the truth. There's another way to end the truth, and we've seen it very well in Gaza. Over 120 journalists and media workers have already been killed in Gaza during these four months.

Because cognitive warfare is not without blood either.
