You and I went the rounds on this issue about a month ago. When I found this thread, I checked and didn't find you wading in on it. Since this issue seems to be a hot button issue for you, I thought I'd drop you a courtesy ping.

Thanks for the ping.
See MadIvan's last comment as it reflects exactly how I feel.
The media in all countries can indeed be linked to people forming negative views about a country. I can see why people would think bad of the BBC and especially the Guardian.
In terms of linking the media to a rise in anti-semitic crimes I think it is hkum though as the people that committ these crimes are either Muslim's who get their media fix from Al-Quds or White Extremist's who get thier info from Stormfront.
