Friends of Israel need to concentrate their fire on the real problem - the biased journalism at places like NPR - and not on each other.

This statement says it all AND could apply to Republicans/conservatives as well in the fight against RATS and socialists!!

This article also shows just how important the internet has become in the fight against bias and lies -- as if we didn't already know.

"The Mainstream Media " is well defined.All you have to do is look and listen to Ted Turner.
The medias most important weapon is the ability to say and do what it pleases without reprucusion.
I would bet that a minimum of 60% of the truth is edited and this comes from liberal bias and agendas.In the past they have kept America inflamed with half truths because that is what sells plus the media is more responsible for dumbing down America than our school system because even if you can read if what you get are lies what difference does it make and I will guarentee you 3 out of 4 Americans in the past have believed it if it was in newsprint,television or radio.These organizations have brainwashed America and it is nobodys fault but our own.

NPR's is hardly then only anti-liberty journalism; the deadline pressure and the need to grip the audience's attention inhere in free, competitive journalism itself. Journalism as a genre of literature is anticonservative.
The truth is that we could figure out who to vote for by reading books and magazines, without any newspapers at all--say nothing of broadcast journalism!! Broadcasting in and of itself is a creature of the FCC; only because of the censorship of you and me does ABC et al have the priveledged address by which the people can hear and watch its programming.
Appologists for that system prattle about the public's "right to know," as if there were truly a font of wisdom spouting from--and only from--the lips of the entertainers who work for the broadcasters. But certifying "fonts of wisdom" is no part the government's business. If perchance you are more wise than Peter Jennings, how would we (or the FCC) ever figure that out? The FCC has prejudged the issue by giving ABC affiliates--and not you--all those licenses.
But of course, to speak of "wisdom" and "journalism" in the same breath is an oxymoron. What does deadline pressure do to infuse journalism with a wisdom superior to that found in nonfiction books? And how does the consensus claim of journalistic objectivity give a individual journalist the courage to challenge a journalistic consensus which happens to be in error?
Broadcast journalism should be abolished. The FCC should require that all broadcasting except for traffic, weather, and sports reports should be prerecorded a week in advance. If you want to get the very latest rumor, sign on to the unregulated Internet.
