Surprising article on Israel and the press — 6 Comments

  1. ” There seems to be no effort whatsoever on the part of news organizations to have a correspondent with a depth and breadth of knowledge about the place about which he/she is writing.” neo

    When the goal is ‘agenda’ journalism, no in depth knowledge is needed, especially as the deeper the insight into the issues, the more certain the knowledge gained will be contrary to the agenda.

  2. Yes indeed.
    And a minor note of appreciation – I see the phrase ‘toeing the line’ so very often miss-spelled as ‘towing the line’ which paints an entirely different mental picture. Thank you, Neo – for using the correct word!

  3. Sgt. Mom:

    Glad you noticed—but to tell the truth, I only use the correct spelling now because years ago someone corrected me for the wrong spelling in one of my posts on this blog.

  4. The msm does toe the line 24/7. That is where the rot begins. Fortunately, the msm is slowly dying from 10,000 cuts of looming bankruptcy. Just say no to net neutrality.

  5. Once one has drunk the kool-aid—that the Palestinians really want to live together, side by side with the Jewish state—the rest is really oh-so-easy.

    For all his decency, Matt Friedman, along with millions of other very decent, intelligent and caring people (along with a lot who are totaly scum), has drunk the kool-aid.

    What? The Palestinians really want to destroy Israel? No way, can’t be, impossible!…. Abbas talks “peace”. And both Shimon Peres and Obama—both of them—have called him “a man of peace”…etc., etc., ad nauseum.

    (Of course, if the Palestinians actually manage to destroy Israel, we can always blame it on Bibi….)
