The Israeli Left's control of the media is a major factor in Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's survival. They prevent criticism of him from reaching a critical mass; they refuse to cover activities and opinions that run counter to their line and they make sure no one says anything that would allow them to retaliate against them by an outpouring of negative press coverage and the loss of livelihood and reputation. The government in turn helps the Left by cracking down on those who dissent, tightening controls upon online New Media expression and making sure the public cannot influence public policies either by voting at election time or by demonstrations after the government is in power.
This is the political landscape that confront those opposed to the post Zionist agenda in Israel. Overcoming repressive forces anchored in a dysfunctional political system is no small task. Yet it is the only way Zionists can overcome the radical Left and end the danger it poses to the continued existence of the Jewish State.

This sounds like our MSM is taking some lessons from the Israeli media. Is the Israeli alternative media and the blogosphere as active as in the US?

This report makes it seem Israel has slide back into the dark ages. Seriously, only the media and ElMorte are able to set policy and even voice an opinion.
What follows won’t be pretty. It never is, when this type of situation is the breeding ground.
ElMorte, is a vile man IMO.
Israel needs a new leader, to confiscate the outlets of media and sell them for the highest bid to alternate entities.
