The Greatest Taboo: Speaking out about Jewish media dominance

Jews “control” the media.

We are told it is an age-old anti-Semitic canard. But when is a canard just what it is, the truth.

Jewish media hegemony doesn’t have to be conspiratorial and nefarious. It could just allow Jews to effectively combat anti-Semitism. What a powerful weapon! Considering the history European Jews and Gentiles have shared- The Holocaust, Eastern European pogroms, the Spanish Inquisition, ancient Rome…thousands of years of anti-Semitism, can you blame Jews for using the media to promote their interests?

Why wouldn’t such an abused group try to keep themselves safe here in the U.S. and throughout the world? It’s apparent that groups like the ADL don’t think the U.S. is safe. So, why shouldn’t one expect there to be an active campaign to mitigate anti-Semitism?

What’s the most effective way to shape public opinion? Control what people read, watch, and listen to. Also, tell them what they can and cannot say in polite society. Tell them what is good and what is evil…over and over and over. (Why, you could also mandate Holocaust education in schools)

Norman Finkelstein, the author of “The Holocaust Industry,” identifies two dividends Jewish American’s enjoy courtesy of the promotion of Holocaust awareness- “victim status and immunity to criticism.” Many American gentiles are afraid to engage in a dialogue, let alone a debate with Jews about Jewish media dominance for fear of being branded an anti-Semite.

Again, we’re told that the ethnicity of the Jewish media moguls doesn’t matter. But imagine if all of the Jewish moguls, agents, producers, editors, writers, publishers, journalists, directors, various impresarios, etc. were Italian, WASPs, or African Americans. Do you think that their ethnicity would go unquestioned? But when you’re “immune to criticism,” and any dissent is met with the accusations of “hate,” “anti-Semitism,” and fanning the flames of the Holocaust…not much changes.

So, is it possible that the Jewish media elite may be individuals acting alone with the same “noble” purpose, “Is it good for the Jews?” No conspiracies, no Protocols of Zion rubbish, just individuals working to keep Jews safe, however, often to the detriment of gentiles…

“Nixon then broaches a subject about which "we can't talk about it publicly," namely Jewish influence in Hollywood and the media…"That right?" says Graham, prompting Nixon to claim that Life magazine, Newsweek, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and others, are "totally dominated by the Jews." He calls network TV anchors Howard K. Smith, David Brinkley and Walter Cronkite "front men who may not be of that persuasion," but that their writers are "95 percent Jewish."

From “The Rest Of Us: The Rise of America’s Eastern European Jews” by Stephen Birmingham

“Though the boardrooms of the three major networks had become largely populated by descendants of Russian Jews, the out-front faces that the public saw would be the Christian one of Walter Cronkite, John Chancellor, David Brinkley, Chet Huntley, Dan Rather, Roger Mudd, Harry Reasoner, and Howard K. Smith. As a result, the general public would not think of television as a Jewish enterprise-simply as a rich one.”

What about gentile media barons?

From Thomas Kiernan’s Citizen Murdoch:

Goldenson’s Jewishness also had a significant impact on Murdoch. Until then, Murdoch had known few Jews well… Leonard Goldenson finally helped Murdoch sort out his mixed feelings about Jews, though. As head of ABC, Goldenson was a major figure in New York’s Jewish establishment. As well, he was an outspoken supporter of Israel, appearing frequently at fund-raising dinners and bond rallies and heading up various committees devoted to advancing the cause of Israel in the United States. He was, to put it in a phrase, a charter member of the so-called “Jewish Lobby” in America.

Murdoch, on the other hand, as publisher and editor-in-chief of the New York Post, had a large Jewish constituency, as he did to a lesser degree with New York magazine and The Village Voice. Not only had the pre-Murdoch Post readership been heavily Jewish, so, too, were the present Post advertisers. Moreover, most of Murdoch’s closest friends and business advisers were wealthy, influential New York Jews intensely active in pro-Israel causes. And he himself still retained a strong independent sympathy for Israel, a personal identification with the Jewish state that went back to his Oxford days.

No one in America should be beyond criticism, and no one in America should be afraid to express his or her opinion about sensitive issues.
