About two months ago, the US shut down an Iraqi newspaper. There was one snide question about it during a white house press briefing.
The newspaper was shut down because it was printing stories that Israeli's and other jews were buying up all the real estate in Iraq.
The media hack that asked the question was quite sarcastic in his question regarding shutting down the newspaper...oh, free press, etc etc.
Was this kind of outright lying reporting in the Iraqi paper something that made Berg even more of a target?
LOL, I don't think there is anything that the media could ever say or do that could ever make the Arabs hate the Jews more passionately than they already do! (But who knows, maybe what you suggest did make a difference in Berg's case.)
