The Guardian Removes Bin Laden’s ‘Letter To America’
"Our quality, investigative journalism is a scrutinising force at a time when the rich and powerful are getting away with more and more." For over twenty years, Media Lens has shown how false is this claim. | A new, significant example occurred just last week. On 15 November, the paper removed Osama bin Laden’s ‘Letter to America’ which it had hosted on its website for almost 21 years. What was suddenly so problematic about the letter that it had to be abruptly removed by the Guardian after being on its website for so long (an archived version can be seen HERE)?
