Default Iran's Press TV censured in the UK for interview with arrested journalist

Perhaps because Press TV has been a success in its first few years of existence, covering the "other side" of events, it has begun to upset Western Jewish media gatekeepers.

Now British regulators are beginning to strike at Press TV more formally.

Something called "Ofcom," a kind of British FCC, just ruled that Press TV "is responsible for a serious breach of UK broadcasting rules."

Quote:
Ofcom has ruled that Iran's state-run Press TV is responsible for a serious breach of UK broadcasting rules and could face a fine for airing an interview with Maziar Bahari, the Newsweek journalist arrested covering the Iranian presidential election in 2009, that was obtained by force while he was held in a Tehran jail.

In July 2009 Press TV, which has a bureau in west London, aired what it said was an interview with Bahari following his arrest in the previous month, days after he had filed a report to Channel 4 News and Newsweek about an attack in Tehran during a post-election demonstration.

The UK media regulator has been investigating the complaint by Bahari, who spent 118 days in jail, since last summer.

In its ruling on the complaint published on Monday, Ofcom said it regards the breaches to be of a "serious nature" and is now considering if the case "warrants the imposition of a sanction''.

This is the kind of stuff that you will not see on the western mainstream Jewish media but you can see it on Press TV.

'US lawmakers forced to support Israel'

Former US lawmaker Cynthia McKinney says every candidate for Congress has to sign a pledge to vote for supporting the military superiority of Israel.


“Every candidate for Congress at that time had a pledge. They were given a pledge to sign ... that had Jerusalem as the capital city,” McKinney said in an interview with Press TV on Sunday.

“You make a commitment that you would vote to support the military superiority of Israel that the economic assistant that Israel wants that you would vote to provide that,” she added.

McKinney said that if a candidate does not sign the pledge or perform accordingly, “then you do not get money to run your campaign.”

The former Congresswoman said that after she made the pledge issue public “the tactic changed.”

“But this is what is done for 535 members of the United States Congress, 100 senators and 435 members of the House of Representatives have to now write a paragraph which basically says the same thing.”

He comments came as US President Barack Obama vowed to sustain Israel's military superiority over its neighbors at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's (AIPAC) annual gathering on Sunday.

“We (the US) will maintain Israel's qualitative military edge”... “We have increased military financing to record levels,” Obama said.

On August 2, 2010 – the Israeli hasbara flagbearer, The Jewish Chronicle, had reported that the British broadcasting Watchdog, Ofcom, has accused Lauren Booth in her show ‘Remembering Palestine’ on Press TV and the reporter Yousef Al-Helou’s following remarks on June 5, 2010 episode - for being baised to Israel (and therefore, amount to ‘anti-Semitism).

Lauren Booth saying: “Israeli commandos committed a massacre of innocent civilians sailing aid ships to the besieged Gaza Strip. This was obviously a barbarous attack on civilians. One thing is certain: As Turkey buries its murdered citizens (nine) – the brave men and women on those ships, in one move, have shifted world opinion against Israeli apartheid”.

Yousef Al-Helou saying: “Israel’s piracy in the Mediterranean Sea ended with a massacre”.
