I think it’s a shame that they would even need to defend honoring the journalists killed in Gaza. Something like this is where governments lying about or covering up certain events catches up with them. There is no doubt about what they were doing there. This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened and it’s definitely not the last. I wish it wasn’t true but it is.
It definitely poses some interesting questions for the Newseum and their mission! Thanks for commenting, Wes.
