The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It isn't just Dubai.
jpost.com - Israel news
Foreign photographers will no longer be allowed to film at the scenes of missile strikes in Israel without prior written approval from the military censors, under new directives issued by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi.

The move, which targets major international outlets, empowers the Israel Police, the Government Press Office (GPO), and the military censor to enforce stricter controls on foreign reporting of war-related damage inside Israel. According to the directive, enforcement will apply regardless of the media outlet for which the footage is being filmed.

Obtaining independent information outside of official channels is particularly difficult in Iran, where media access to areas outside the capital Tehran is limited or non-existent.

commondreams.org - Trump treason charges media
US President Donald Trump late Sunday floated “treason” charges against media outlets that he accused of reporting false information about the Iran war as the human and economic costs of his illegal military assault continued to mount.

In a tirade posted to his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote that media outlets he accused of circulating “fake news” should “be brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information.” The maximum penalty for treason in the US is death.

Can’t have facts contradicting the propaganda that the nation is winning the war.
A nation may not be able to manage an enemy’s attack but it can manage the press reporting on the enemy’s attack.
