Israeli police impersonate reporters
"Israeli police posed as a TV news crew to trap a one-time Palestinian informer, provoking an outcry from critics who said the sting threatened to put the lives of newspeople at risk.
Police impersonated a Channel 2 TV news team... Channel 2 executive director Avi Weiss wrote:
"Impersonation is liable to create the mistaken impression that the news organization is involved in some way in an investigation or other police operations, and thereby compromise its status as an objective and independent news outlet."
He's never heard of Operation Mockingbird then.
Police said they contacted Channel 2, and the reporter they impersonated, to tell them about the operation — after the fact. Police told them they posed as a reporter to apprehend the suspect and that it was crucial to do so for the case."
Why I don't believe a thing the MSM says anymore!

Campaigning for tougher sanctions on Iran, Israel went on the offensive Tuesday against the UN nuclear watchdog, accusing its leaders of playing into Tehran's hands over its nuclear ambitions.
"Unfortunately there are foreign officials playing the Iranians' game by contributing to the Iranian strategy of foot-dragging," Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Mark Regev told AFP.
Thanks for the comments, Mike!
You go in solo with a military strike against Iran, and the US and the rest of the world will simply hang back, and watch the carnage unfold. -- Mike Rivero, What Really Happened
