Virus kills: As an example, consider the media treatment of Middle East news. Some editors or commentators are slavishly pro-Israel in their every utterance, while others seem nearly neutral. No one, however, dares suggest that the U.S. government is backing the wrong side in the Arab-Jewish conflict, or that 9-11 was a result of that support. Nor does anyone dare suggest that it served Jewish interests, rather than American interests, to send U.S. forces to cripple Iraq, Israel's principal rival in the Middle East. And our governmental leaders, can they dare stand and oppose the massive force of the media?

MCD is weak and a typical sheeple. He just doesn't get it. He and those like him is why we are in this pickle. He is from another era before media and lobbyists who spend billions upon billions to sway government and only a fool would believe it cannot be accomplished! It is different now old fellow. You just cannot change your well-intenioned patriotism. That makes a patriot like yourself part of this immense problem.

You should read this study on the last Hezbollah terrorist attacks on Israel. It seems to completely contradict you position on editors and comm(ie)entators being pro-Israel, if anything it clearly shows an opposite bias to the point of blatant propaganda and lies.
Not that I believe out of hand everything produced by a university, this study was done with the help media insiders which I think gives it much more merit.

Who's sending all the rightwing anti-media people over here tonight?
The media largely follow the government's lead, and not the other way around.
Among other reasons, it's the government that can imprison people, execute them, spy on them, license them, and fund them.
If we went to war in the Middle East it was cuz it served our interests.
