Anti-Israel Media: Biased Media Go To Hell!

The so-called “mainstream” media is constantly and regularly biased against: Israel: — an unfair, terrible double standard.:  On a daily basis, rockets are fired at: Israel, and that’s a non-issue for the media which constantly condemns: Israel.:  Observing the media as owner of a leading: PR Firm, I believe there is no rational explanation for this media bias such as these headlines from mainstream media in 2012.

Some necessary media quotes are provided to rationalize the insanity of the media:

  • “Israeli air strike kills: Gaza: militant, breaks truce” (Reuters) — In reality, Hamas 1st: fired rockets — wouldn’t that be the breaking of the truce?
    • “Even though credibility is all you have to sell, it’s not enough anymore. Credibility is not working as a business model. Credibility of journalism is at an all-time low, anyway.” Kelly McBride, Poynter Institute
  • “Living Under The Cloud of Israel Apartheid” (Australian) —: Israel’s the only democracy in the: Middle East: & the very using of those words is offensive and inappropriate.
    • “Our illusions are the house in which we live; they are our news, our heroes, our adventure, our forms of art, our very experience.” Daniel Boorstin, “The Image”
  • “UN appalled by: Israel: treatment of hunger strikers” (BBC) — And the sun rises in the morning.:  The UN is: always: “appalled“by something to do with the Jewish state, and that’s because its members are overwhelmingly in thrall to an anti-Zionist bigotry which knows no bounds. Worthy of a banner headline?
    • “Truth is like a lizard; it leaves its tail in your fingers and runs away knowing full well that it will grow a new one in a twinkling.” Ivan Turgenev to Leo TolstoyKasim Hafeez
  • “Israel & Gaza Militants Trade Attacks” (Financial Times) – There’s no: moral equivalence between Palestinian terror and Israeli responses.

o: : : : : : : “The problem of Journalism is simple. Journalists are rarely in a position to establish the truth of an issue themselves, since they didn’t’ witness it personally. They are entirely dependent on self-interested sources to supply their facts. Every part of the news-making process is defined by this relationship; everything is colored by this reality.”: Jay Epstein, “Between Fact & Fiction” book

  • “Israel: charged with extorting African migrants in trafficking ring” — (Associated Press) – In reality it was an Israeli man — not the whole nation. Was this really an error or a Freudian slip of the media? (It gets better once you learn he was a Bedouin & not even Jewish).

o: : : : : : : : “Truths are more likely to have been discovered by one man than by a nation.” Descartes

  • “Mogul’s Latest Foray Courts Jews for the G.O.P.” (The New York Times ) – Webster’s defines “foray” as a “raid for spoils” and, when used as a verb, also connoting “pillage.” Would the Times run a similar “expose” of billionaire George Soros’ contributions to leftist causes? And: paint: him as a “mogul” engaged in “forays” to advance his political agenda?

o: : : : : : : “The New York Times has such abnormal keenness of vision that it is occasionally able to see that which does not exist. The ardency of its desire sometimes overcomes the coolness of its reason, so that the thing it wants to see shows up just where it wants it to be, but in so intangible a form that no other eye is able to detect, no other mind finds ground to suspect its presence.”Washington: Post in 1899

This media coverage surrounding: Israel: cannot be perceived rationally — its simply insane.:  Perhaps the Zionist leader: Ze’ev Jabotinsky: in 1911 in his writing “Instead of Excessive Apology” had the answer: “We constantly and very loudly apologize…. Instead of turning our backs to the accusers, as there is nothing to apologize for, and nobody to apologize to, we swear again and again that it is not our fault… Isn’t it long overdue to respond to all these and all future accusations, reproaches, suspicions, slanders and denunciations by simply folding our arms and loudly, clearly and calmly answer with the only argument that is understandable and accessible to this public: ‘Go to Hell’?”

Ronn Torossian: is CEO of: 5WPR, a leading: US: PR firm.:  He is an active Jewish philanthropist and author of “For Immediate Release.”
