American media distortion on Palestine
By Alison Weir | MEMO | May 1, 2013
… We have conducted a number of statistical studies on this issue and found that US media were covering Israeli deaths in far greater detail than they were covering those of Palestinians.
For example, the New York Times was reporting on Israeli children’s deaths at a rate seven times greater than they were covering Palestinian children’s deaths; this didn’t even include the far larger number of words and amount of personal information given about Israeli victims compared to Palestinians. We also found that primetime network news programmes were covering Israeli children’s deaths at rates up to 14 times greater than the coverage given to Palestinians.
I discovered a system of reporting from the region in which a violent conflict between an officially “Jewish state” and the Muslims and Christians it had dispossessed (and was in the process of dispossessing further) was being covered most of the time by journalists with legal, familial or emotional ties to Israel. A great many are Israeli citizens (though this is almost never disclosed) or married to Israelis, their children also being Israeli.
I discovered that the Associated Press control bureau for the region, from which virtually all news reports that appear in US newspapers were transmitted, was located in Israel and was staffed almost entirely by Israeli and Jewish journalists (many of whom had served in the Israeli military).
I learned that the son of the New York Times bureau chief was serving in the Israeli military while his father was reporting on the conflict. In fact, I discovered that it was common for journalists in the region reporting for American media to have close personal ties to the Israeli military; that at least one staff member had been serving in the Israeli military even as he was reporting for the NY Times ; that US News & World Report’s senior foreign correspondent, who had covered and written about the Middle East for more than 40 years, had a son serving in the Israeli army during the time he was reporting there; that Middle East “pundit” Jeffrey Goldberg, whose commentary pervades both the print and broadcast media, is an Israeli citizen who served in the Israeli military.
I learned that CNN anchorman Wolf Blitzer lived in Israel for many years, at one point travelled around the US as the “voice of Israel” and had worked for an Israel lobby publication.
I learned that Time magazine’s bureau chief was an Israeli citizen, and that NPR’s long-time correspondent from the region had an Israeli husband who had served in the military and may be an Israeli citizen herself.
I also discovered that this pattern of Israel-centrism went beyond the regional reporting. In fact, the regional filtering of the news may not even be the most significant factor in the broken media reporting on this issue that Americans receive.
Within US-based journalism per se I discovered patterns of Israel-centrism that were deeply troubling. In some cases I personally experienced the intentional suppression of information on Palestine. Following are a few examples. … Read full article

It defies logic, how the USA Government, abandoned its own Sailors when Israel attacked the USS Liberty, but, such is the power of the Israeli/Zionist lobby in the USA, that nothing can bring the perpetrators of this crime to justice.
“I want that God Dammed ship on the ocean floor”…..US President L B Johnson
“Don’t worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it”…….Israeli PM, Ariel Sharon Oct 3, 2001.(just after “9/11”.)

“It does defy logic…” But logic isn’t in use when Israel has shackled and hypnotized the American Congress and relentlessly applies its ‘hasbara’ in every way imaginable.
As to the USSLiberty, what was in use was cowardice and treason.
Oh, the success of the wages of war, from the jewish hand in WWII, the Shabbot goys who maneuvered England and the United States to establish Israel, right to the present time.
What must be resisted, exposed as part of this war, is obeying Israel in a war on Iran. With its oil, how self-destructive of America to lallygag along with Israel in all that it wants.
There’s the current, present cowardice. And a form of treason to continue to make of Iran an enemy, so largely at Israel’s bidding.
What do you get from this, America? Israel is not an ally to America; it is the opposite.

@43:57 the ‘political establishment’ was not named. So I will NAME IT. The President Zionist LBJ an Israeli henchman and the one who had all to do with the assassination of JFK, was the one who didn’t want to ’embarrass’ their ‘ally Israel’, and the one who ordered the USS Liberty to be sunk. LBJ was a Mossad/CIA asset and a traitor to America and all Americans just as the rest of the puppets in DC still are. The goal of sinking USS Liberty was to start WWIII and blame it on Egypt. The cabal is waiting for these men and their testimony to die, the same cabal who has caused destruction wherever they decide on this planet.

Israel must have compiled SO MUCH DIRT on America’s Political Prostitutes that they Israel, can get away with ANYTHING in the USA today.
The Mighty USA, is powerless in Israel’s presence. It is pathetic to witness it.

I’m trying to find out where to comment about this. My very first ship in the Navy, in 1969, was the uss Kilauea AE 26, and our Captain was Captain William McGonagle from the USS Liberty. He wore his Medal of Honor that he earned on the Liberty after she was attacked by Israel. I have heard many stories about the Attack, bottom line, Israel attacked us and LBJ was not allowed to retaliate. Another case of Sailors being sacrificed for diplomatic reasons.
