[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mainstream media is so blatantly anti-Israel and pro-Trump it's sickening. [/quote]
You mean, mainstream media is pro-Israel. CNN is only getting around to reporting the milder abuses of Israel because social media is taking the wheel and reporting the hard stuff. CNN and the likes can no carry Israel’s dirty water and hide the truth. [/quote]

This is exactly how I feel. MSM is covering a little here and there now because it is so obvious, but even now it is milder than it could be, and with lots of sympathetic counterbalancing. Like that public radio piece with the sympathetic view on the Iraqi Jewish man that aired on Monday, as a few brutal images of the starvation were finally being published.

Can you imagine a news story on the day the camps were liberated about a sympathetic Nazi who was really a nice guy, talking about how he had even had a Jewish friend 40 years before?

How about  personalized piece from the other side? About a kind Palestinian? Or about a Palestinian family who suffered during the Nakba and their memories? You almost never see those sorts of personal pieces in US MSM.

And the stories and photos that run tend to be highly personalized on one side, but white washed on the other. How many times has the image of the young, pretty Israeli girl limp in the back of the Hamas truck been shown? Over and over and over. It’s a startling and sickening image that solidifies the brutality of the day in everyone’s minds. Yet there really isn’t the same type of iconic (I know that sounds sick, but you know what I mean)  imagery presented of the other side in MSM. Do we really think those images don’t exist? I opened up an article a weeks ago from a non MSM source in the days after Israel dropped a 500 pound bomb on a Gaza cafe that was frequented by journalists, aid workers and locals trying to access the internet. I was surprised to see a large close up image of a beautiful young woman covered in blood, walking away from the carnage. I guess I was surprised because I somehow believed that MSM would run imagery like that if they could, but somehow the images aren’t available. But that’s absurd. They are available. Israel also bombed a hospital and a school and a food distribution site and shot at aid workers that day. [/quote]
