"......some journalists explained that they had known that all along but they couldn't publish it because they or their co-workers were threatened."
The difference is informing the viewers in real time rather than after the fact.
Fox reporters have openly stated the limitations imposed by Israel on airing some film. I feel certain Israel's censorship is not accompanied by the threat of bodily harm to colleagues.
I hope these particular reporters on each side are communicating. ;)
This is like certain nationally syndicated sportswriters that go into the tank and print biased news columns about their local professional sports teams...lest they be banned from the locker room/clubhouse.
