BTT. I admit to being astonished at just how meekly the collective knee of the U.S. media has bowed to the intimidation of street violence and the treacly platitudes of political correctness on the issue. These are First Amendment "warriors" unafraid to call Bush a Nazi but kissing the hand of the first bearded bully to whine that he's offended. I thought that my contempt for the MSM couldn't get any lower, but it has.

I remember my delight (about a hundred years ago, back in the elementary school) when I heard for the first time this very old joke:

A passerby stops seeing a man on his fours searching for something under the light poll.

-- What are you doing he inquires, can I help you?

-- I am looking for my wallet, the man responds.

-- Where did you lose it?

-- Right there, the man gestures toward another side of the road, that disappears in the dark.

-- So why are looking for it here? - the passerby asks in total astonishment.

-- It's brighter here...

It was hilarious because it is so nonsensical.

But so are the Left Stream Media. They critique mercilessly Israel for each real or imagined transgression, but are silent about Arabs. Why? Because they can't loose with Israelis: nobody is going to kill them and they can look good and compassionate. Another thing is to offend the ill-tempered "translators". Same as MSM withholding truth in Bagdad to keep their presence under Saddam. Same as Hollywood bravely attacking military, CIA, any government agency claiming sinister conspiracies on their part, all too aware that if any of these were true, they would be killed right away indeed. So, what's the surprise when Jihadists exploit MSM's cowardice, for a thousands time?..
