Jews are news (on media bias against Israel)
National Post ^ | December 29 2008 | Michael Ross

Posted on 12/29/2008 1:34:19 PM PST by knighthawk

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 world’s newsrooms – and in particular those belonging to network and cable TV news – at the onset of Israel’s offensive against Hamas in Gaza this past week.

Israel’s 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”.

I can't care for any media outlet, any 'peace activist', any journalist or UN or whatever. I support Israel in their war against islamic extremism.

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.?

No need to bother watching the TV news coverage of the Israeli offense against Hamas anymore. Whenever violence occurs, it's always Israel's fault and of course, only innocent, peace-loving Palestinian civilians - primarily babies, if you believe the pictures - are the victims.

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.

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!

I've seen a lot of bias reporting, but CNN coverage takes the cake. Both radio and TV reports always present the perspective of "innnocent" Palestinians, and they alsys quote Palestinian and Hamas leaders -- with a few brief references about cross-border rocket fire.

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?

Just NOW they interviewed CYNTHIA MCKINNEY for her opinion on the alleged ramming of a ship of “volunteers” (volunteers for WHAT???) by an Israeli warship.

Am I crazy??? Has this country we live in become a lunatic asylum???? Who the hell would ask CYNTHIA MCKINNEY her opinion on ANYTHING??!!!!
