While there may be dark clouds hovering over the boardrooms of companies and financial houses these days, there must have been collective whoops of joy in the worlds newsrooms and in particular those belonging to network and cable TV news at the onset of Israels offensive against Hamas in Gaza this past week.
Israels conflict with the Palestinians and its neighbours is no longer a news story but an industry complete with a revolving conveyor belt overloaded with ambitious career-minded journalists, dubious Middle East experts, clueless peace activists, and patronizing diplomats and envoys who can be counted on to talk endlessly in clichés and platitudes about halting the cycle of violence and getting the peace process back on track.

Have you noticed how most of the photos feature Palestinian casualties and suffering and there are rarely any pics of the suffering and causalities of the Jews.?
and I thought that the “jeiwsh lobby” is so strong... SARCASM - ON.
As Michael Ross rightly contends, 'The Cycle of Violence' BS never stops. As if all the years of Israel's peace treaties, land giveaways to 'show good faith' and other futile attempts to stop the Palestinian attacks on Israel never happened. Just that old, uncontrollable 'Cycle of Violence' at work, I suppose. Yeah, right.
Oh, they'll make a fleeting mention of the rockets being lobbed into Israel for weeks on end, launched from land (Gaza) that Israel ceded to the Palestinian 'government' to, for the umpteenth time, 'show good faith', but the strong suggestion of a moral equivalence between Hamas and the Israelis never changes, no matter what the provocation from the Palestinian terrorist camps.
When it comes to leftmedia coverage of the Palestinian-Israel conflict, don't waste your time. Their bias against Israel is palpable, making the viewing of the network 'reportage' a distinct waste of time.
Easy equation: Mainstream Media = Liberals = Anti-Semites; case closed.
Anyone in the media ever tell the American people the horrific things these savages did to our kidnapped soldiers in Iraq??? Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda, they’re all the same human waste that must be destroyed. Of course, the Muslim Messiah, Pelosi, and Reid and their host of fools will sit down and have a nice peace talk with savages. Why not reach across the aisle with terrorists? God save us from Liberal fools!
Hey CNN, what if rockets were being lobbed from the Georgia Tech campus over the I-75/85 interchange to your broadcast facilities in Atlanta? Would you seek to interview the Georgia Tech administration?
Am I crazy??? Has this country we live in become a lunatic asylum???? Who the hell would ask CYNTHIA MCKINNEY her opinion on ANYTHING??!!!!
