Ticker: ABC News Returns to Uvalde NewsNation requesting that journalists be allowed to report inside Gaza. Here’s the details
Top of the Ticker: NewsNation has sent a letter to the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., requesting that journalists be allowed to report inside Gaza. NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo spoke about the letter on his program on Wednesday night. “There’s no way a conflict of this magnitude should be going on without a fair appraisal from the ground,” he said, adding: “I understand why the IDF, why Israeli politicians would be concerned about people seeing what they’re doing, but that’s only more reason to have people see what they’re doing. And also, they’re worried that they may injure journalists as they have in the past. But that is not their choice to make. That is the choice of a free media. And that is a choice that we freely make. ”
