So, last night was the airing of the notorious Obama Health Care Infomercial on ABC (the full transcript can be viewed here).

Shalit’s Transfer “Imminent”
I don’t know if this is directly related to the subject of my previous post, Human Rights Watch Targets Hamas For A Change, but Haaretz is reporting breaking news that, according to European sources, Gilad Shalit’s transfer to Egypt is “imminent”. Whether this means that his release is also “imminent”, or what “imminent” actually means,... »

Jeffrey Goldberg, a correspondent for the Atlantic, cast a spotlight on yet another disgustingly overt example of pure bias in the mainstream media, particularly at the anti-Semitic Reuters newswire. He points to a Reuters news item which contains the following despicable sentences: Police said it was a “terrorist attack” — Israel’s term for a Palestinian [...]
In the [sparse] reporting of the Palestinians’ massacre of the Fogel family, several newspapers stand out with their distorted sense of “balance”, i.e., where they feel overwhelmingly uncomfortable describing the barbarity of the Palestinians without at least taking a swipe or two at the Israelis, no matter how patently irrelevant or disgustingly disrespectful it comes [...]
