CNN employees accuse the broadcaster of “journalistic misconduct” The broadcaster takes statements from the Israeli government at face value, says one employee. There are strict restrictions on quoting Hamas and showing Palestinian points of view.

CNN denies the accusation to the Guardian. The Israeli response to the Hamas attack is being reported on with “detailed analyses, interviews and reports,” according to a spokesman. Both sides are treated equally: "We firmly reject the idea that our journalists treat Israeli officials differently than other officials," says the spokesman.
