The onus should never fall on anyone to disprove an allegation. The onus should always fall on the accuser to provide the documentation, no matter what the topic is. I agree. Let any evidence compiled get public airing without summary accusations of anti-semitism. If the Jews can refute such evidence, why wouldn't they be glad to see the compilation so it could be proved inaccurate for all time? Why let his issue fester?
I, for one, would like to see it, and the Jews refutation of it.
I just read the morning papers and lo and behold Graham addressed the situation and apologized for it. While I'm still not happy about his comments I appreciate his being man enough to address and refute his earlier statements.
As we know, apologies for statements like that from public faces is done more from fear of accusations of anti-semitism than acknowledgements of a true change of mind. I wouldn't attach a whole lot of credence to it.
I don't put that much credence in it but it's as good as it's gonna get.
By the way, I do acknowledge that the media is percentage-wise over-reprepresented by Jews. The simple and undeniable explantion is that when those industries were in their infancy, many of their founders were Jewish because of the inability of Jews to get into the top schools and industries. The result is a normal outgrowth of that earlier situation.
The other reason for this is the strong emphasis placed in traditional Jewish homes of study being important.
On another note, the idea that the media is somehow responsible for society's ills is infantile and belittles the importance of the home one is raised in.
