"Like all foreign news organizations operating in Israel, CNN’s Jerusalem bureau is subject to the rules of the Israel Defense Forces’ censor, which dictates subjects that are off-limits for news organizations to cover, and censors articles it deems unfit or unsafe to print.
...
In order to obtain a press pass in Israel, foreign reporters must sign a document agreeing to abide by the dictates of the censor."

And when they can't control the press, like say, #AlJazeera, they simply kill all the journalists working for the media outlet.

110 journalists killed, and counting.

Edit to note that this is apparently 78% of microplastics *from specific sources, including textiles and personal care products*, which is only 11% of total microplastics.

So about 8% of total microplastics is directly from car tires.

RT @jme_pew Turns out “microplastics” isn’t descriptive enough. We should be panicking about *tire dust.*

“Seventy-eight percent of ocean microplastics are synthetic tire rubber, according to a report by the Pew Charitable Trust.”
