Does the media fairly present the Israeli/Palestinian question?

Question

It seem to me, that TV and Radio, do not fairly present the point of view of Palestinians.
And when it occasionally it does, those in the jewish community who disagree organize radical opposition to the fact that such ideas could even be broadcast or published.
This stifling of the citizen's right to free discourse, makes it difficult for Americans to get the facts they need to participate in the guidance of their politicians. A vaccum is created, and the Israeli Lobby moves in to fill it. The results are a one-sided presentation of what is happening in the Middle east, and an American public that is basically ignorant of what is going on.

Answer 1

I believe that you are correct in your statement. Just look after 9/11 they start showing people in the mideast cheering when it was an old video of a celebration that people were having.

Answer 2

Of course the media does not present a fair an accurate presentation and most of the time it is biased against Israel.

And as to the media's responsibility... it is their responsibility to present the truth, not to allow themselves to become the soapbox for pro terrorist propaganda.

For example, Hamas spokesmen have been given the opportunity to write editorials in American newspapers. This, in spite of the fact that Hamas is officially on the US list of terrorist groups.

And for the record, a citizen's right to discourse does not give him or her the right to a New York Times editorial.

Answer 3

Does the media ever really presetn anything. They just show you what they want you to see.

Or are you refering to the side that is on the Arab News? Statements "Like today is the begining of the end of Isreal" "The first order of business for the state of plastine is the destruction of Isreal"
Just enlighten me some more.

Answer 4

not american media. first they don't tell uls everything. then they don't tell us what is really ahppening and they don't tell us of their involvement. they only want us to see what is beneficial to them which is unfair.
