Has the MSM shown more buildings destroyed in Gaza than buildings destroyed in Israel.

Peter responds: GaryB, there is a difference between showing FEWER buildings destroyed and FEWER people killed and showing NO buildings destroyed or people killed.

The Dinosaur Media has been completely silent about what Israel has been going through in recent years, but more than willing to trumpet the suffering of the poor, innocent Arabs. Not anymore. The Dinosaur Media is on its way to extinction, to be replaced by the New Media as personified by Joe, the Blogs and the Internet. Better get used to the modern era.

Has the MSM shown more buildings destroyed in Gaza than buildings destroyed in Israel. Sure. But you know why? Because relatively few buildings were destroyed in Israel and hundreds were destroyed in Gaza. Has the MSM shown more dead and injured in Gaza? Of course, but that’s because the deaths and injuries in Israel have been a very, very small fraction of deaths and injuries in Gaza. That’s not media bias. Those are facts that even the Israeli press would agree with. It doesn’t make one side morally right or morally wrong, but whitewashing the human toll (as Joe seems inclined to do) is morally wrong.

Joe wants to make censorship on the media, just like Hitler, Stalin and Fidel Castro.
Only dictatorship worship censorship on the media, good western democracy wants the media to be free.

Joe is not his name. He is the equivalent of MSM. MSM is trash. MSM is not telling the story of the Palestinians. Go ahead and believe what you want, but this Joker is a fraud. What a spit in the face to all intelligent Americans to send an uneducated liar to do reporting. It’s the sickness that inhabits this Country…and all the idiots that support this drivel. Sadly it will be much to late before most figure this out. Good luck with life, you’ll need it.

Really? Jon Stewart is now MSM? REALLY!?!?

His is a COMEDY show, not News. For crying out loud, so look at the clip of him tearing into Tucker Carlson when he tried pulling that “Why didn’t you ask Se. Kerry the serious questions?” Jon’s reply sums it up – “My show follows puppets making crank calls.”

I find it laughable that you would even insinuate that The Daily Show is serious news. Let alone part of an imaginary and self-proclaimed “anti-western” conspiracy. That, too, is a made-up ‘get at the base’ piece of nonsense and poppycock.

There is no ‘kool-aid’ so just…calm down.

If only there were some Jewish folks working in the media or Hollywood, Israel would finally be able to have their side heard.

The real reporters are being bad-mouthed by Joe the Nutball and his Amen Chorus here because the truth doesn’t fit their ideological preconceptions.

The real bias here is on the part of the right wing cheerleaders who can’t see past the neat little black and white narrative they’ve invented for themselves. Sam Wurzelbacher is a self serving publicity hound; a perfect fit for Roger Simon and his self serving propaganda outfit…

Pete:
Obviously you don’t live over seas…I live in France, where socialism reins…When I talk to young people here, they say there is no hope for them in France…
Pete, you need to live in socialism before you so blindly support it.

I love it when Joe the Dumber gets compared to the real deal like Michael Yon: go ahead and google Yon and try to find ANY similarity between a real soldier reporting on the ground and a phoney unlicensced plumber making an ass of himself – or Michael Totten – who is about as MSM as they come – if you count the NY Times, the WSJ, the Daily news, Commentary AND the LA Weekly as MSM (I do). Whittle knows that Joe the Dumber is a moron – but like the fools who compare Sarah Palin to Ronald reagan, the new kind of journalists – like Bill Whittle, aren’t really interested in the truth or the facts or anything in between – they just want to have something to say. And while the internet might look like real publishing, I wonder what a guy like Whittle would be doing if he actually had to sell nonsense like this?

Probably plumbing…
