You are making all this crap up. For example Donahue was fired
because few were watching him sneer at them. Liberals cannot
succeed in talk shows because they hate and despise their
audience. He was getting about one quarter the audience of the
competion. The nightmare scenario that MSNBC was so alarmed
by was that no one was watching him vomit hatred over his
audience.
Much the same for all your other stories

Funny. Some time ago I saw some Israelis murder a Palestinian
kid on numerous stations, Fox among them.
Channel surfing last night I saw bits of a long boring
documentary where the camera followed various Palestinians
around in their daily lives, depicting the distressing effect
on the Palestinians of various Israeli collective punishments.
Not sure what station it was on. Terribly earnest public good
stuff.
Sure the press is biased, but there is plenty of stuff that is
very far from pro Israel, even on channels that are openly pro
Israel, such as Fox.
