Things Aren't Always How They Seem
Hat tip to Honestreporting.com on the following: MSM has done it again. Apparently there was a huge rally of Islamic Jihad, celebrating their successful attack against Israelis in Tel Aviv.
Though media outlets were quick to report the official Palestinian denunciations of Friday's terror attack, this chilling Islamic Jihad rally received almost no coverage. [Associated Press did mention the rally ― but buried it deep down in an article that dealt with another topic altogether.]
And then of course, there's our favorite media outlet, The BBC:
In the wake of Friday's Tel Aviv bombing, BBC One TV produced a segment called 'A Family in Mourning', which showed extensive footage of the parents of the Palestinian terrorist, but no pictures at all of the mourning families of the terrorist's victims!
After a wave of protest, BBC issued this 'correction', which comes right on the heels of a BBC apology for a recent radio spot accusing the IDF of ordering soldiers to 'shoot unarmed [Palestinian] schoolchildren.' [See Feb. 16 HonestReporting communique.]
Not a great sign if you ask me.

I agree -- they do a terrific job, as does CAMERA.
I'm really at a loss to understand the anti-Israel, pro-Arab and more specifically pro-Palestinian bias evident in the media, especially during the past few years. It's easy enough to say "liberal bias," which is certainly true of much of the mainstream media, but that's not logical. Why would liberals, of all people, think this way? It's a mystery.
I agree -- liberals are not anti-Israel. I don't know what the right word is to call CNN and the BBC other than anti-Israel. LA Times too.
What I do know is that the far left and the far right meet -- at anti-Semitism.
I thought Alexander Haig was actually the secret hero of the Yom Kippur war. He sent tow missles to Israel without Nixon's approval.
". . . the blank slate, the noble savage, and the ghost in the machine . . ." Sounds like something from the Tanner Lectures on Human Values. Like a title of something. All are good names for rock bands.
Okay, how about the best example of a card-carrying ACLU liberal who is very pro-Israel: Alan Dershowitz.
Thanks for posting Jonathan. And I'm with you -- Alan Dershowitz is great on Israel!
It's in the book, The Secret War Against the Jews.
