The Jewish Week’s EIC wrote an article before the election saying McCain and Obama would be the same on Israel.
Pamela’s right — shame on them
When did the “Jewish Week” go left? Grievance rots the mind. They are shilling for the same Muslims who would kill them. The editorial on the Fast of Gedillah is appalling too.
Maybe the Jewish Week editors agree with the National Jewish Democratic Council's guest of honor about that time. His name was Alcee Hastings. a black congressman from Florida and former federal judge who was impeached for taking a bribe. Mr. Hastings told his audience of Jewish 'Rats to actively oppose Sarah Palin. Why? Because Palin carries guns and hunts moose, and therefore doesn't like blacks or Jews.
As I said in another post on this thread, most, if not all, of the accusations against Pamela from the Jewish Week writer Chandler came from the "Media Matters" web site. "Media Matters" is a leftist group blieved by many to be funded by George Soros for the purpose of countering alleged "misinformation" promulgated by "conservative" media - as if conservative media, including people like Pamela Geller, was so powerful in the general scheme of things that Soros' meagabucks were needed to correct its errors.
As a general rule, the political tone of any media outlet is set by the people who own it.
Who owns the Jewish Week? The publisher and editor are the same man: Gary Rosenblatt. So Rosenblatt may be a major investor or may be the pawn of some other leftist person or group which holds the purse strings.
I’m a big fan of Geller and her blog Atlas Shrugs. I’ve followed her as she built it into a force. She seems to be everywhere now - writing articles, on TV, organizing demonstrations, ad campaigns, and writing a book with Robert Spencer.
I’ve also followed the Jewish Week as Gary Rosenblatt took it further to the left and became part of the problem in this country. He is the archetype of the ‘liberal’ Jew who always votes Democrat, voting reflexively, and then rationalizing it to themselves. In Rosenblatt’s case he devotes himself to rationalizing it to his audience of readers.
This is the same phenomenon we've frequently seen over the last fifty years with large big-city newspapers as well, whether owned by Jews or non-Jews. The New York Times was considered a "Republican" newspaper until the 1960s, believe it or not. The New York Daily News was considered "conservative" until it was bought by Zuckerman. (Before then, they had been owned by the Tribune Corporation, whose flagship newspaper, the Chicago Tribune, was - until new ownership came in sometime in the 1070s(?) - also considered "right-wing.")
This phenomenon of a general shift to the left in the American newspaper industry is one reason for the industry's decline over the years.
The same can be said for the major television networks and the magazine industry.
