Is the media biased against Arabs?

Question

Why is a death is Israel (terrible) front page news and if dozens die in Palestine or Lebanon. Or an American girl is bulldozed to death trying to protest for Palestinians rights (to help prevent the bulldozing of Palestinians' home) this is treat scarcely if at all buried in a passing reference. It also goes to a larger question of is corporate America running MSM news media helping kill true free speech and America's freedom and it's citizen's welfare. BBC does an OK job for some things but they're Brits.

Answer 1

No, the Arabs have supported the terrorists who bombed us on 9-11 and other countries including India and Britain. Can you name any Arab groups that came out against these attacks? Now countries like Lebanon, Syria, and Iran provide training grounds and headquarters for Hezbollah and other terrorist groups. The media reports on it as well they should. However, I have seen plenty of media support for the "poor Arabs" who are killed when Israel and others defend themselves. I have no sympathy for the terrorists or their supporters which apparently includes you.

Answer 2

I think prior to 9/11 there were a lot of people, including members of Congress who were seriously questioning the US alliances with Tel Aviv. However, since terrorists have targeted the U.S. and the Middle East seems to be supportive of the whole "death to America" stuff, its impossible to find a way to speak for Arabs in this age as they simply keeping coming off as mindless killers. There are Congressmen who do ask questions but they will never have a forum as long as terror is the standard operating procedure. Prior to 9/11 there was a very strong Arab lobby in the U.S. that was opening dialogue about Israel and getting attention. Those days left and won't be back for awhile until sanity returns to the Middle East and thats not going to happen until the ordinary Arab won't be slaughtered if he has an idea or reads a book. Its a cycle that we are far from getting off.

Answer 3

A lot has to do with how hazardous it can be to get the story confirmed.
When an Israeli dies, journalists can investigate and confirm from reliable sources. When a dozen Palestinians die, it may not be possible to do this, if the only source is Al-Jazeera or some other local propaganda organ. Often the story cannot be taken at face value (remember Muhammad Saeed al-Sahaf, the Iraqi Information minister?), and it's too dangerous to go there yourself and see what's happening. All you can say is that you heard someone else say it happened, and that's not really front-page material..

Answer 4

No, they love the Arabs. They hate America. That's who they are biased against. Anything right or that makes sense, you'll find there is a bias against it. It also seems to support Hollywood views. If Lebanon wasn't such a hot spot for the celebs, there might be more support of the Israelis. As it is, Beirut was such a party place that all the emphasis is on how that city is being torn apart: poor bar owners, poor children, poor country, bad America, bad Israel. How dare Israel ( who we do support) bomb this poor country after it has beautifully rebuilt itself after civil war and supported terrorists?

Answer 5

there is most definately a bias against muslims in the media.
reason is because the media is largely owned and funded by the jews.
to give you an example :
1
let a crimanal do something wrong .
the media would say that a male caucasian /age 25 was resposible for this crime.
2
let a muslim do something wrong
the media would say that 25 yr old islamic fundimentalist , who is believed to be connected to al -qaeda has commited a crime . it is believed that this fundimenatlist is part of a terrorist organisation and has roots in the arab world .

what a difference in the reporting !

Please report the facts !!to all journalists.
I really admire robert fisk , a christian whos is doing exactly that

Answer 6

Did you see the news last night?
There was a special segment that was just a creampuff piece defending Israel and the U.S.
They went on and on with just this kind of coverage that the poster says.
Oh, yeah, the show was on Al-Jazeera.

When this is true, come back and we'll discuss media bias against arabs.

Answer 7

Yes and no, media is controlled largely by Jews, but the problem is they are also LIBERAL Jews, so they have a dilemma. They don't want to support anything we conservatives support, yet they don't want to do anything to speak against their own kind. I am LMAO at this BTW. And anyone of any nationality DUMB enough to stand in thew ay of a bulldozer manned by someone who MUST do this to create security is STUPID.

Answer 8

Boy, we sure hear the news differently. I hear a media biased towards the Arabs--just listen the wording of the presenters.

Answer 9

I think it is. There is a book you might want to read if you have an interest in this, it's called " Reel Bad Arabs" and talks about the history of this.

Answer 10

I don't think that the media si biased against Arabs. I think they are biased by Muslims. The two are not interchangeable.
