Media Bias: How Media Turn U.S., Israel Into Villains By Misreporting Gaza 'Protesters' Violence Investors Business Daily - May 15, 2018
Bias: You might think that national news outlets would be extra careful not to sensationalize or distort what's happening in Gaza and the West Bank in response to the U.S. moving its embassy to Jerusalem, Israel's capital. But if you did, you would be incredibly naive.
The mainstream media went out of their way to portray the U.S. embassy move to Jerusalem as an incitement to violence by Palestinian "demonstrators."
Headlines often give away the underlying bias. Typical was one from the New York Times: "Israel Kills Dozens at Gaza Border as U.S. Embassy Opens in Jerusalem."
Get the linkage? It's all our fault — and the Israelis'.
ABC News' reporting went out under this title: "Over 50 Palestinians in massive protest are killed by Israeli military, bloodiest day in Gaza since 2014 war."
The BBC, Britain's taxpayer-funded fountain of left-wing news, ran this succinct topper: "Jerusalem embassy: Why Trump's move was not about peace."
But that wasn't all. The Beeb's piece weirdly sank into a vile anti-Semitic and anti-Christian tirade, blaming Trump's decision to relocate the embassy on, among others, "right-wing American Jews whose message was amplified by the conservative Orthodox Jews dominating Mr. Trump's inner circle" and "evangelicals whose voice was amplified by the devout Christian in the White House, Vice President Mike Pence."
The Huffington Post effort, to its credit labeled "Opinion," ran with a similar theme: "Trump's Jerusalem Embassy Ceremony Was One Big Dog Whistle."
A dog whistle, for what, you ask? Just like the BBC, the HuffPost blames Christianity and Judaism, of course.
By far the worst bias, however, was in the New York Daily News. It ran a front page picture of Ivanka Trump attending the U.S. embassy opening, contrasted with a picture of the violence in Gaza with the headline: "Daddy's Little Ghoul."
Hard to tell from Nazi propaganda of the late 1930's. The same socialist Jew Hate, the same attacks on Christianity, the same intolerance for differing opinions.
Heck, the same fascist salute from the Soros Youth demanding the Holy State disarm the Negroes and Christians. Closed fist instead of open palm, and Twitter instead of pamphlets, but if you update for technology, the only thing missing is the cool daggers.
Arab perpetual victims, screwed very badly, and eternally, by the Syrian, Jordanian & every other Arab state, send children out to throw rocks at soldiers, while terrorists, often pretending to be police or Holy warriors, shoot from behind the children at the designated Oppressors.
Not the people actually responsible for their suffering, that would be their "leaders" in Hamas and the PLA, but, always, Hate Jews and Christians.
I recall vividly a past version of this game, played so willingly by the Leftist European and American press. Every channel, all day. Same edited footage.
Kids throwing rocks. Cut to Israeli soldiers gesturing. Cut to soldiers shooting. Cut to man lying in street, women on knees wailing.
Every channel, all day, exact same every time.
Except BBC America. Unbroken shot.
Kids throwing rocks. Swing to Palestine Police behind children, shooting AKs past children at, swing, Israeli soldiers waving kids out of way, returning fire, swing to, behind Israeli soldiers, man shot by P Police, wailing woman.
The lying sack of feces media isn't telling you the Palestinian protests were planned long before Donald announced he would obey the law passed by Congress many years ago, re: moving Embassy. It's the 70th anniversary of the founding of Israel. So it's been planned since Last Year's protests on the 69th anniversary. And the 68th. And 67th........ See a pattern?
This dishonest crud is like blaming Trump for Fourth of July fireworks, ignoring over 200 years of past celebration from before his birth.
Both Hamas and the IDF have this last week circled on their calendar as the annual human shield propaganda event. Israel even plans for extra troops & medical aid over a year in advance, using the lessons learned each year to limit casualties to the professional terrorists, in well planned overwatch operations.
Hard to tell from Nazi propaganda of the late 1930's. The same socialist Jew Hate, the same attacks on Christianity, the same intolerance for differing opinions.
Goebbels' legacy lives on: CNN, MSNBC, WaPo and NYT (to name but a few).
Thinking out loud: If we give the mainstream media the benefit of the doubt re: Trump in the run-up to the election, if we assume they were all just ignorant and blind and badly misread the man (over, and over, and over, at the top of their lungs), surely they see now that he meant exactly what he said as Candidate Trump, and has carried through on his promises as President Trump.
So: Why the continuing war on President Trump? By every benchmark he is succeeding in making America great again. And, by extension, WE are succeeding because of his leadership.
Why is the mainstream (and much of the not-so-mainstream) media still at war with him? Why the ongoing coup attempt?
At this point of his presidency, with all the historic successes of the past 481 days, what are they still so afraid of?
The reason the MSM is still at war with our President is, they're butt-hurt over losing.
And being embarrassed by it.
Let's face it - they had a pretty big audience when they committed that YUGE blooper. Clinging to the hope/fake story/fiction/whatever that something was afoot that kept this from being a "real" victory, is the only way they can try and save face.
Since they're purporting that he wasn't "legally" elected, they can't come into line behind him and admit he's doing a good job...that would be an admission that a) there really was no election interference and b) he really did win, legally, and legitimately. They can't even admit he's the President, without hedging their bets on election fraud.
Hell...they've been playing a quote from Whoopi lately about the "enhanced interrogation", where she suggests that "the gentleman in the White House try it himself" - she can't even call him President.
It seems Donald has done more good in the region in one year & a few months than Obama in eight. Infinitely more good, considering the death toll & refugee crisis of Obama's Wars.
CNN headline: "President Trump violently elbows elderly protester trying to reach microphone at rally"

That that particular lady (and her family) was invited by President Trump to join him at the podium during his speech at the Peace Officers' Memorial, is significant.
On a (possibly) related note: Did y'all see what was ordered unsealed by the US district court in NY, NY yesterday?
Interesting timing, this court-ordered unsealing, coming as it does so soon after the sudden, unexpected resignation of NY's Attorney General a week and a half ago...
BREAKING: Comey and Yates had at least 5 members of Trump's team under secret federal surveillance during the 2016 campaign, including Gen. Flynn.
quote:
BREAKING: IG Horowitz has found "reasonable grounds" for believing there has been a violation of federal criminal law in the FBI/DOJ's handling of the Clinton investigation/s and has referred his findings of potential criminal misconduct to Huber for possible criminal prosecution.
Interesting tweet from Mr. Sperry from about 30 minutes ago:
quote:
The media elite are now forever part of the Deep State. They are complicit in the cover-up of political espionage by the intelligence community. There is no going back for them.
And grew exponentially with the advent of 24/7/365 cable "news" and the social media giants.
Their biggest fear is that the current awakening by the American people reaches critical mass (to be honest, I think it already has: the election of DJT to the presidency in spite of the fake news networks); the last tweet from Paul Sperry above has "RED PILL" written all over it...
Several snips below from a piece today by Andrew McCarthy in the National Review; I'm an equal opportunity citationer:
quote:
[T]he 0bama administration used its counterintelligence powers to investigate the opposition party’s presidential campaign.
*****
[T]here was no criminal predicate to justify an investigation of any Trump-campaign official. So, the FBI did not open a criminal investigation. Instead, the bureau opened a counterintelligence investigation and hoped that evidence of crimes committed by Trump officials would emerge.
*****
[T]he FBI, lacking the incriminating evidence needed to justify opening a criminal investigation of the Trump campaign, decided to open a counterintelligence investigation. With the blessing of the 0bama White House, they took the powers that enable our government to spy on foreign adversaries and used them to spy on Americans — Americans who just happened to be their political adversaries.
*****
At the height of the 2016 presidential race, the FBI collaborated with the CIA to probe an American political campaign.
We know that there was a substantial effort to frame the current President of the United States with crimes by infiltrating his campaign, and then his administration, with spies that the FBI had set upon them.
We have learned that the crimes were committed by the FBI, senior members of the Department of Justice, John Brennan, Mr. Clapper, Mr. Comey and others associated with the Democratic Party.
Donald Trump and his associates committed no crimes.
Absolutely categorically and unequivocally it has been proven that the FBI...purposely sent people into the Trump campaign to plant false information, then force that information to be forwarded back to CIA, and then funneled to the FBI to be used as false information in FISA applications. Everybody involved in that process, who knowingly participated, committed a crime.
As of today I understand that a referral for criminal prosecution has been made by Mr. Horowitz to Mr. Huber who was investigating the FISA leaks, the unmasking, the leaks of the unmasking, and everything we described tonight. Criminal referrals have already been made and I suggest that Mr. Brennan...get himself a good lawyer.
Congrats to the House for passing the VA MISSION Act yesterday. Without this funding our veterans will be forced to stand in never ending lines in order to receive care. Putting politics over our veterans care is UNACCEPTABLE – Senate must vote yes on this bill by Memorial Day!

Wow, word seems to be coming out that the Obama FBI “SPIED ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WITH AN EMBEDDED INFORMANT.” Andrew McCarthy says, “There’s probably no doubt that they had at least one confidential informant in the campaign.” If so, this is bigger than Watergate!
-- President Donald J. Trump, 8:45 AM - May 17, 2018
“Apparently the DOJ put a Spy in the Trump Campaign. This has never been done before and by any means necessary, they are out to frame Donald Trump for crimes he didn’t commit.” David Asman @LouDobbs @GreggJarrett Really bad stuff!
