- Rolling Stone’s Bizarre Cheap Shot At Sarah Palin
March 28, 2011
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, [...] - More Disgustingly Overt Reuters Bias
March 24, 2011
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 [...] - Bloomberg’s “Crash Tax”
March 24, 2011While reading last month’s issue of AAA’s Car & Travel magazine, I was surprised to discover that Bloomberg (with the FDNY behind him) is now trying to push a “crash tax” on anyone involved in a car accident, with such taxes ranging from $365 up to $490, depending on the severity of the crash. The [...]
- Obama’s Abu Ghraib
March 21, 2011The latest news out of Afghanistan is going to be really interesting to follow, if only to see how the media handles it. According to the Guardian and other (so far relatively few) sources, pictures have now made their way out of Afghanistan (courtesy of Germany’s Der Spiegel) showing brutal and psychopathic activities by U.S. [...]

Palestinian Authority Cannot Declare Independent State
With all the recent chatter about the possibility of the Palestinian Authority declaring a Palestinian state independently of any negotiations with Israel, Dan Izenberg (at times referencing Dore Gold) has written a clear, concise analysis in the Jerusalem Post outlining exactly why the PA cannot do so by current conventions. He points out that although... »
Palestinian Apartheid
Sol Stern wrote a great piece highlighting the hypocrisy of the Palestinians when it comes to hurling accusations of “apartheid”. He casts a spotlight onto a fact of Palestinian society that most of the media choose to conveniently ignore: that the Palestinian refugee camps are clearly an unnecessary societal extreme and mostly only exists... »
Former IDF Soldiers Rescue U.S. Citizen Held Captive In West Bank
A woman from the United States who married a Palestinian man she met while he was here in the U.S. was held captive in his West Bank home for three years, where he lives with his other wife and four children. The Palestinian man used violence along with the threat that she’ll never see... »
West Bank Flourishing
Michael B. Oren, Israel’s ambassador to the United States, has written an article in the Wall Street Journal today describing the surprising economic situation in the West Bank. It begins: Imagine an annual economic growth rate of 7%, declining unemployment, a thriving tourism industry, and a 24% hike in the average daily wage. Where... »
The New York Times: Just the Facts?
New York Times coverage often supports the Palestinian narrative without placing events in greater context. Headlines, eyewitness accounts, and images depicted the Gaza conflict as Israeli aggression against Palestinian civilians. Settlements are misrepresented by having images of tiny outposts accompany articles about settlements. Issues such as Palestinian incitement are downplayed or ignored. »
