An international media watchdog says
Ethiopian authorities have barred a British journalist from reporting in the
country because he wrote stories about human rights abuses there.
The New
York-based Committee to Protect Journalists stated late Thursday that reporter
Inigo Gilmore was denied accreditation this week.
Gilmore, who reports for a
London newspaper, had covered alleged abuses committed during protests over
disputed election results last May.
C.P.J. says at least 17 journalists were
jailed in Ethiopia while covering the post-election unrest.





Does anybody stop and ask what kind of work has this
journalist embarked on in the past? What kind of credibility does he have? Does he report in order to tell the truth, or is he out to satify a
certain conservative group's point of view?

Here is a typical example of he work (I would call it tabloid):

and these are the type of adds his newspapers commend!
The pictures are adds from the website. Please pay attention to what's written on the chests of the women.
1. The ACLU is the American civil liberties Union, an organization that advocates for the respect and upholding of civil rights. "C" in ACLU is replace with the communist logo of "maCHed'ena medosha". "Enemy of the state" is the slogan.
2. There is the "PEACE" sign, with a fire-spitting fighterjet in the center. "Through Superior Firepower" is the slogan.

What kind of idea do these journalists and newspapers uphold?
And how about the title of the article? "THE SMOKING GUN" ????????

What smoking gun, you &$%#^(!@&*
