Rupert, you shouldn't have apologized. There is a "Jewish-owned media" and it is ridiculously anti-Israel, and it is madness. Why apologize for saying the truth? I'm Jewish and I agree with that, despite its bizarre similarity to anti-Semitic rants. That's not what you meant, and anyone with half a brain can understand that, unless he's studiously trying to misconstrue.

If you consider what he said, it sounds like a PRO-Semitic comment to me. Which evidently angered all those liberal, self-hating, anti-semitic Jews.

We have many Jewish friends. None of them support Israel in the middle east and it puzzles us because we (Wife and I) support Israel. No one ever explains it, either. They change the subject.

The apology should have said something like: “I’m sorry that media outlets owned by self-loathing Jews, are so anti-Israel”.

I remain unconvinced that Jews own the media.

Now, lets say I’m wrong. What would that indicate other than that they were smart business people, had applied themselves, and done exactly what we want people to do in our society.

The whole premise is a loser argument from a-z.

I’m not talking about the forum here, but do we as a people believe in free enterprise or not? Murdock should. He’s been exercising that right for decades.

You have superbly stated his case. This is the first I’ve read about his tweet, but I know precisely what he meant and I concur. The NYT is a sterling example.

..some bowed to Nebuchadnezzar’s golden image, some chose the fiery furnace—you decide who was the true children of Israel...

No mention of Murdoch’s anti-Israel publications/broadcasts in the UK.

I have been watching and reading local news outlets in Florida for MANY years, and though I don’t know that the OWNERS or their families are Jewish, I DO know that many of the “decision” makers in the editorial side are Jewish.

Doesn’t matter: they often report the anti-Jewish nonsense...to a point of making me sick to my stomach.

I haven’t heard ONE report, for instance, in the Miami media (Miami has a sizable Jewish population) about the current Middle East situation that takes Obama to task for not siding strongly with Israel OR one that points out that Hamas puts bomb making factories and rocket launchers near playgrounds and mosques.

I DO hear on Miami media a lot about how Israel has killed “x” number of children.

Again, not saying the owners of these media outlets are Jewish (some are publicly traded companies, for instance), but MANY of these media facilities have Jewish managers and bosses...people who OUGHT to know better.

EU countries urge Israel not to invade Gaza
EU Observer ^ | 19.11.12 @ 09:25 (Nov. 19) | Andrew Rettman
Speaking ahead of a foreign ministers’ meeting in Brussels on Monday (19 November), the UK’s Wiliam Hague told Sky News on Sunday that “a ground invasion of Gaza would lose Israel a lot of the international support and sympathy that they have in this situation.”
