A video released by the Jewish Council for Education & Research which appeared to show several retired senior IDF and Mossad officials supporting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has proven to be misleading, with a number of officials who appeared in the video saying on Monday that their words were taken out of context.
"It's not only misleading, it was an interview about what the next president was going to have to deal with," former deputy chief of staff Maj.-Gen. (res.) Uzi Dayan told The Jerusalem Post. "And to know that they used this interview and took five seconds, and put me in a list of people praising Barack Obama…
"It wasn't about the campaign, it was about the political and security issues of the Middle East that the next president should be involved in," he continued. "Nothing was said about Obama or [Republican presidential candidate John] McCain."

Former Mossad chief Ephraim Halevy, who appeared in the video praising the Democratic candidate, also said that he was misled.
"I was interviewed for a documentary dealing with what issues the new American president must deal with regarding the Middle East," Halevy told the Post. "I was asked about the candidates, and was complimentary to both."

We CAN NOT allow Obama anywhere near the White House.

Makes no difference.
The Dims ALWAYS have the American Jewish vote locked up.
MSM believes Obama lies are good, McCain truths are bad.
Are we going to stand for this?
“...The Dims ALWAYS have the American Jewish vote locked up...”
I am more and more convinced they have a death wish.

This is true. What can we actually do about it?
Remembering from public school before the libs took it over, the history of “Yellow Journalism” around turn of century 1800s to 1900s. It was eventually corrected, anyone have info on what forced yellow journalism to end? It may be beneficial at correcting the MSM now.
Yellow journalism in it’s more well known form (the competition for readership between Pulitzer and Hearst) may have faded away by the turn of the century, but I don’t think it ever really ended. The adage “if it bleeds, it leads” still holds true, and newspapers and TV news alike both tend to have sensational headlines that often have little in common with the substance of the article. I think we had a brief period of “serious” news with the advent of television news but it then devolved again into the meledramatic and often misleading crap we see today. Newspapers today are often political mouthpieces, even going so far as to publish classified or dangerous information. Yes, I’d have to say yellow journalism is alive and well.
