I previously posted about the latest rash of scandalous photos coming out of Afghanistan showing U.S. military atrocities under Obama’s command, and wondering if the media would pick up on it the way they did when it was Bush’s army… Well, here’s a twist I wasn’t expecting: yes, one of the U.S. media, Rolling Stone, [...]
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 [...]
A Technical Glitch With Amazing Precision

I’ve been working in the technology industry all my life and I have yet to encounter a “technical glitch” with this amazing level of precision.
The Guardian, a newspaper not exactly known for ever having anything nice to say about Israel, published a listing of what it referred to as “every peace prize winner ever” since the award’s inception in 1909. The only problem is that it left out every single winner from Israel. The names of Menachem Begin, Yizhak Rabin and Shimon Peres all disappeared from the list.
Arutz Sheva reports that the Guardian—after seeing a significant backlash from readers—added the names back to the list and blamed it on “technical issues”, a completely unbelievable answer that abysmally fails the “smell test”. After all, has anyone ever seen a technical glitch with such uncanny precision? Has anyone ever seen a computer make such a particularly accurate and specific “mistake”?
Anyone believing that ridiculous story is a bigger idiot than the liars at the Guardian who concocted it in the first place.
Here are the pictures of the “glitch” in action (thanks to Tom Gross). Notice how the “glitch” forgot to remove the country (Israel) from the listing… and also notice how the “glitch” astoundingly had no problems with every other multiple-winner year (like the 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, etc.)… only those exact years where the multiple winners involved one or more from Israel, and only those winners who were from Israel:
