CNN Fires Gaza-Based Photojournalist Discovered to Be Embedded With Hamas

[The WRAP] CNN has severed ties with Gaza-based photojournalist Hassan Eslaiah after he was discovered to be embedded with terrorist group Hamas.

The news network said in a statement Thursday that their working relationship with the freelancer began after the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks on Israel — attacks that the organization maintained it "had no prior knowledge of."

"We had no prior knowledge of the Oct. 7 attacks. Hassan Eslaiah, a freelance journalist who has worked with a number of international and Israeli outlets, was not working for the network on Oct. 7. As of today, we have severed all ties with him," the statement read.

The decision came following a report from the pro-Israel watchdog group Honest Reporting that named several Gaza-based photojournalists working for major news media companies including CNN, The New York Times, the Associated Press and Reuters and raised "ethical questions" regarding their proximity and relation to Hamas.

Of Eslaiah, Honest Reporting wrote that he "crossed into Israel, took photos of a burning Israeli tank and then captured infiltrators entering Kibbutz Kfar Azza." The group also said that it "obtained screenshots of Eslaiah’s now-removed tweets on X in which he documented himself standing in front of the Israeli tank. He did not wear a press vest or a helmet, and the Arabic caption of his tweet read: ’Live from inside the Gaza Strip settlements.’"

#2 Having now set the precedent of firing reporters for siding and biasly reporting.

When can we expect to see CNN Anchors and reporters clearly in bed with the US Democrats and LSD's, fired for the same issues?

#3 That would be the same CNN that suppressed what Saddam was doing in Iraq in order to have an office in Baghdad.

"If any of your media team is caught or killed the network will disavow any knowledge of your existence."

You really don't want to be that guy, or any of the other "journalists" who filmed murderous carnage.

#7 CNN was also on hand for the Roger Stone, Nov 2019 early morning FBI raid.

And they were on exact location prior to, with a full crew, where the violent confrontation between police and 'J-6 Insurgents' battled it out.

Almost as if it had been staged.

#10 If CNN fired all of its compromised employees, it would be down to just a janitorial staff unless the CCP is going through their trash. With them shutdown, how would we know what the CIA wants us to think?

#11 They are spies hiding under cover of being "journalists." They should be executed on the battlefield as the laws of warfare dictate.

#13 “I hate newspaper men. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are.”

“If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast.”

- General William Tecumseh Sherman

#15 Lt. Col. Adoniram (his surname was withheld by the IDF for security concerns), the commander of the 614th Combat Engineering Battalion, told The Times of Israel that most of the tunnels and rockets they had found were deep within civilian sites.

“We encounter a lot of weapons, a lot of tunnels. Here you saw one under a children’s room. We found them in playgrounds, we found them in kindergartens, and in mosques. Tomorrow morning someone will say ‘Why did they attack a mosque?’ This is why,” Adoniram said.
