Iraq's Communications and Media Commission barred Ahmed al-Sharifi and Mishaan al-Jubouri from media appearances, as reported this morning by Al-Ghadeer TV in the regulator's own terms. Sabereen News posted the decision about ten minutes earlier and Unit 10,000 in between, the latter attaching derisive tags — "they call him the pilot" for al-Sharifi and "a pilot of another kind" for al-Jubouri. The regulator's decision text and legal basis are not in the supplied material; what is established is what each channel published and when.

A state restriction on who may appear on Iraqi air is being welcomed in mocking terms by KH-affiliated media, which tells the reader which side of the Iraqi media-control question those channels are on.
