MAINSTREAM MEDIA DISTORTS REALITY ON ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS
Even a simple announcement by the Israeli government is used as a platform to bash Israel.
April 4, 2017

Gideon Israel

Yesterday, Israel’s government approved construction of a new settlement in Judea and Samaria (aka West Bank). Media outlets CNN, BBC and the NY Times wasted no time publishing stories that distort the truth, if not outright lie. These mistakes range from offering a false impression of reality to actually getting facts wrong. Such elementary mistakes expose the disconnect between mainstream media outlets and basic truths of the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

For example, CNN wrote that this is Israel’s ‘first new settlement in Palestinian territory in more than 20 years’. The first part of the sentence is misleading and the second part is false. Israel has not built new communities in Judea and Samaria because it has given numerous chances for the Palestinian leadership to come to the table and reach an agreement. However, the Palestinians continually refused. Instead, the article leads the reader to believe that this is a new policy meant to stifle any chance for a peace agreement.

The second part of the statement asserts that Israel is building in Palestinian territory. This is because CNN incorrectly believes that Israel has no legal rights to the West Bank. Israel’s legal rights to controlling the West Bank and building communities there under international law have been affirmed time and again by respected authorities on the subject, including: Professor Eugene Rostow, Professor Julius Stone , Professor Eugene Kontorovich, Professor Avi Bell and more.

MAYBE THE MEDIA SHOULD STOP LEAKING CLASSIFIED INFO ABOUT THAT ISIS SPY
May 17, 2017

Daniel Greenfield

...

But assuming it's true, compromising an Israeli asset to the Russians is bad. Compromising an Israeli asset embedded in ISIS to ISIS is much, much worse. And that is what the media seems to be doing. Its publications attacking Trump for classified disclosures are potentially far more damaging. And as usual the media doesn't care. Its only objective is to hurt Trump any which way it can. If it were in possession of the nuclear codes, it would pass them to terrorists if it could be spun to undermine Trump.

...

That's the pathological mindset we're dealing with.

If the media really wants us to believe this story is real, maybe it should stop acting in a way that seriously undermines its claims.

When your beloved Fake news agencies come up with any evidence....ANY EVIDENCE AT ALL of a crime other than what Rice did for Obama...get back to us. Until then we will still just sit back and watch the media train wreck.

HOW THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA OPERATE
A case study in how the media conducts its war against conservatives.

"Our leading media" are characterized by "indefensibly corrupt manipulations of language repeated incessantly."

Patrick Lawrence in The Nation, Aug. 9, 2017, on the media's reporting of the alleged collusion between Donald Trump's campaign and Russia

To understand America's crises today, one must first understand what has happened to two institutions: the university and the news media. They do not regard their mission as educating and informing but indoctrinating.

In this column, I will focus on the media. I will dissect one issue that I know extremely well: the national and local coverage of the invitation extended to me to guest-conduct the Santa Monica Symphony Orchestra at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. The concert took place last week.

I am well aware that this event is far less significant than many other issues. But every aspect of the reporting of this issue applies to virtually every issue the media cover. Therefore, understanding how The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and NPR covered my story leads to an almost-perfect understanding of how the media cover every story where the left has a vested interest.

When it comes to straight news stories — say, an earthquake in Central America — the news media often do their job responsibly. But when a story has a left-wing interest, the media abandon straight news reporting and take on the role of advocates.

As I explained in detail in a previous column, the board of directors of the Santa Monica Symphony Orchestra and its conductor, Guido Lamell, invited me to guest-conduct a Haydn symphony at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. I have conducted regional orchestras in Southern California over the last 20 years.

Sometime thereafter, four members of the orchestra published a letter asking their fellow musicians not to perform, claiming, "Dennis Prager is a right-wing radio host who promotes horribly bigoted positions." They were joined by former Santa Monica Mayor Kevin McKeown, who announced, "I personally will most certainly not be attending a concert featuring a bigoted hate-monger," among others.

Then, The New York Times decided to write a piece on the controversy.

TRUMP KILLED THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
September 5, 2017

Daniel Greenfield

The sale of the New York Daily News for a dollar isn't the death of the sleazy leftist tabloid. It died a while back.

Today, the Daily News is best known for its trolling front pages. That and bizarre trolling hate pieces from a staff of repurposed and unqualified trash like Linda Stasi, a former Post movie critic turned hate spewing bigot, and sportswriter Mike Lupica, trying to churn out political commentary.

Stasi summoned a boycott of the already failing paper when she blamed one of the victimsof the Muslim terror attack in San Bernardino because he was a Republican. Lupica has no idea when the Constitution was written.

...

The Daily News had no base left. Its hate covers were popular with progs who didn't buy or read the paper. And so here we are. And the decline of the left-wing dead tree media rolls on.

KIM JONG-UN'S ESTABLISHMENT MEDIA MINIONS
Leftists regurgitate North Korean propaganda in our own papers.
September 7, 2017

Lloyd Billingsley

As Matthew Vadum notes, the violent anti-Trump groups Refuse Fascism and the Workers World Party are siding with North Korea and “spouting pro-North Korean propaganda talking points, and in at least one case, copying and pasting official North Korean statements into communiques.” As it happens, North Korean propaganda is also showing up in the establishment media.

Consider “Reunification, not war, in Korea,” a “special” piece for the Sacramento Bee on September 5, when Kim Jong-un was fondling his new hydrogen bomb. Author Geoffrey Fattig, a “former speechwriter for the U.S. State Department,” is not disturbed by “Kim Jong-un’s blatant disregard of the will of the international community,” and describes it only as “distasteful.”

Mainstream, non-mainstream, as with anything it is best to follow a buyer beware policy even when the product is free.

Mainstream Media Distorts Reality on Israeli Settlements

From the commentary presented above I come away feeling that the bias exhibited by Gideon Israel goes way beyond that of our mainstream media.
