It wasn't us who said this. Instead, it's one of their own - an outspoken openly liberal talk show with a cynical view of the mainstream media.
On the June 11 Web portion of HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" called "Overtime," Newsweek editor Jon Meacham offered the argument there is not a pro-Israel bias in the media, which is often alleged.
"The idea that there is a pro-Israeli bias in the broad media - whatever ‘the media' means at this point, I strongly disagree with," Meacham said. "I think if anything you run into a very strong feeling on the Palestinian side."

Maher is a liberal jew who didn’t forget his roots....
Maher is as acerbic as ever, but in this case he happens to be correct. The stunned silence after he speaks is priceless.
Just a couple of pea brains having a discussion about a topic that neither of them understands.
Mahr is a broken clock, not to mention a libscum idiot, but that means he gets to be right once in a while...
Blind Squirrel, meet nut.
MSM + Maher = 2STUPID
Wow.
A stopped leftist is correct ....
It’s shocking I agree with Maher.
Maher, a former alter boy, was raised Catholic.
It is. I'm stunned, too.
Didn't Maher defend Sarah Palin's right-to-privacy recently in regard to that creepy novelist who moved in next door? He must have figured out that his ratings move up when he occasionally moves to the right. Nothing else could explain these anomalies.
Mother is Jewish....
interfaith
We can start with Reuters as the leading anti Israel authority.
Substitute "entirely, due to their savage Jew hatred" for "partly", and Mahar actually said something that made sense for once.
I challenge any hater of Israel to show me one, even just one, instance of pro- Israel bias is the MSM.
That doesn't include pro Israel columnists.
Show me any news story in the NY Times, Wash Post, USAToday, CNN, the network news, anything at all that you can point to a pro Israel bias.
I will on the other hand show you this- just from today.
A headline in todays NY Times:
Police Kill Palestinian Driver in East Jerusalem"
Now, without reading the story, what is you first impression? Just some innocent Arab gunned down by those vicious Israelis, right? Maybe he didn't signal a turn?
Hell no. He attempted to murder police officers with his car.

Pro Israel bias in the media- LOL.
Thr first snart thing Bill Maher has said,
What grade are you in?
It’s not just the media...most of the 3rd world favors Palestinians over jews.

Crowd burns U.S. flags in Ecuador
While U.S. Sec. of State H. Clinton met with Ecuador’s president at that country’s Presidential Palace, a crowd gathered in front, burned two U.S. flags and shouted “Out with the killers of immigrants!,” “Gringos out from Latin America!,” and “Out with the killers of Palestinians!.”
