The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel found itself a friend in major American newspaper USA Today recently, when a press release about its efforts to have Alicia Keys cancel her upcoming show in Israel appeared almost verbatim in an article on the newspaper’s website.

The American Journalist Jeffrey Goldberg first tweeted about the disturbing similarities Thursday, a day after the article appeared. “@USATODAY ran a BDS press release as a story. Here’s the newspaper piece Here’s the release” he wrote.

USA Today struck me as crap from the first issue, I remember they were giving it away trying to get readers and never have seen a reason to pick it up again free or not.

Who owns it? Who are the people or corporations behind that newspaper, USA Today?

“Who owns it? Who are the people or corporations behind that newspaper, USA Today?”

I don’t know and don’t care, I have less use for newspapers than network news and I have no use for network news at all. Once upon a time the Orange County Register was tilted toward Conservative, now you can’t pick it up without seeing a bunch of positive or bleeding heart stories about IMMIGRANTS, and not the legal ones.

That the Jew-hating Nazis at USA Today would join BDS is not surprising. That so-called newspaper is infested with Hitler-loving leftists.

there is no such thing as a palastinian and the arabs who claim to be such are the foreign occupiers of jewish land and thus the enemy.
