A thoughtful article worth reading
I agree……I need to get it out…more people should read it…..
You might as well ask “Do most heterosexual men want to stick their penises into attractive females?” Even amongst the better US media outlets, the overt bias is laughably obvious. It’s so bad, even just asking that question is not only laughable, but a punishable offence.
First, there’s the bullshit religious-political connection. The Jewish vote (and donations) are a must for one party. The other party depends on radical Christian kooks & their 2nd coming obsession. Anyone who attacks, or even questions the actions of the “Jewish State”, is in league with Satan.
Second, “defending” the perpetually defenceless Israel provides a great excuse to keep the military spending going. Our Good friend vs their Evil enemy. “See, there’s evil we must waste money building weapons to fight, even though Israel is more than capable of defending themselves.” It’s great business. And who pays the medias bills, especially nightly news and Sunday morning drivel? The Military Industrial Spy Complex, that’s who (and boner pills)! Anybody who doesn’t follow the pro-Israeli script gets “circumcised” from the news roster.
Third, racism. Just as millions of dying Africans are of less “importance” than Chelsea Clinton’s “campaign baby”, America sees Arabs just like 1930’s Germans were trained to see Jews. Even Americans who hate Jews see them as well above the Arab “sand niggers”.
Even most forward thinking Americans who can see the bias are still so marinated in it that they can’t grasp the full scope of it.
Three excellent points……and my two previous posts were about the “circumcising” of Rula Jabreal……
Interesting topic. Actually, I came across a similar situation: NBC removed Ayman Mohyeldin (who was covering Gaza) after he made a Facebook post about the 4 kids killed on the beach. Here’s a link:

Yeah, I wrote about it the day after it happened…CNN removed a reporter, female, after she called Israelis celebrating the death and destruction scum…..
OK, I just looked at it (Where’d He Go). I guess he made some tweets or posts that were a little too “balanced.”
I noticed yesterday he was back in Gaza….maybe all the Twitter outrage did some good….
It is still amazing to watch Fox News and all of their subtle and not-so-subtle references to terrorism and how Israel has the moral authority and how Hamas bears all responsibility, etc. Fox has no shame. They don’t even try to interview people from the Palestinian side.
No they lead the Muslim hater corps……or they will find some Palestinian that has nothing go to say and promote him.her as the voice of Palestine…..they are disgusting and shameful…..
