Bill O'Reilly/NewsBusters ping to Today show list.
It makes some sense...
Yes, but are there many liberal Jews left who still care about Israel? Maybe the editors are being too fastidious.
For the record: Bill made clear that he recognizes Israel's right to go after Hezbollah. His theory was offered for purposes of explaining the papers' timidity, not criticizing it.
Ha! I don't know why, but this struck me as really funny Mark. Even O'reilly is right once in a while.
"Or could it be, mirabile dictu, that there is surprising consensus in much of the world, even extending to portions of the MSM, that the Hezbollah thugs are a threat to most everyone this side of Tehran and Damascus?"
I wouldn't be so optimistic.
There's stil Hamas, Al Quaida, Al Aqsa Martyr's Brigade, the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Fatah, the Wahhabists, etc., etc.
The problem is Islam.
The dispute between these collections of nutjobs is the techinique to be used to strangle us, not in the ultimate outcome.
He's not right about the L.A. SLIMES--it's always been very pro Palestinian. Hugh Hewitt has documented this many times on his radio show.
It is kind of interesting how the New Republic egged on the war against Saddam, and thend turned against Bush for actually doing it.
A lot of younger Jews are, or were, becoming quite fed-up with the Democratic plantation, and are flirting with the idea of wandering down to Republican town. Or have already done so (like yours truly).
The figures are beginning to be noticeable. Its panic time for liberal establishments. ;)
I do not care at all about the damn NYT any more. It is one of the worst papers in America.
Excellent column/coverage, as always, Mark. I appreciate how you skillfully spot and dissect important commentaries from "unusual" sources ("Today Show," for example).As for the current discussion, I'm curious if Bill will air this theory on "The O'Reilly Factor" later this evening? Might require more courage to discuss on TV vs. radio, which tends to fly a bit below the radar.
Funny how my very liberal CATHOLIC uncles in Detroit have subscriptions both to the Old Gray Skank and the WAPO then.
Don't change the headline from that posted at the source. If you have to make an editorial comment in the thread title, put it in parentheses. Thanks.
That may be true, but he'd better have some serious Tom-Sowell type demographic data or the racist charges will be flying his way!
High volume. Articles on Israel can also be found by clicking on the Topic or Keyword Israel. also

Unlikely given circulation sizes, though impossible to know. Personally, I often wonder about the ranting about the circulation declines for the NYT as well.

Many liberal Jews are critical of Israel. What harm would be done by the big newspapers to criticize it? I really don't think there would be harm done.
It's funny cause it's true. :)
Most Jews are liberals. I know many Jewish liberals who are very supportive of Israel. It's liberal Christians who generally aren't supportive of Israel (as I know many of them too). I don't know the validity of O'Reilly's statements, since I don't often read the NYT or WaPo. I wonder if it has to do with the benign comments from the Arab world?
