Did you read what I wrote? I didn't say all British or even some British are anti-Jewish, I said that this is why I'm concerned with media manipulation and how groups are shown. If the media shows a group as being 'evil', then people are willing to believe it. The BBC does just that so I would not be surprised if there was more British anti-Jewish thoughts that we expect. One of their ambassadors did refer to Israel as "that shitty country" in dinner conversation.
As for the media, I want them to be held accountable for what they say and the facts of it. If it's opinion or commentary, then it should be stated clearly that "the following is NOT NEWS but instead is a person's opinion". Oh, and looking where you see bias in the media is rather interesting and telling. I'm not saying your wrong, but it looks mostly to be on one side of the spectrum. >> Dino wrote: >> This is why I'm so worried about what I (and others) see as media bias. >> "If >> the media says it's ok and everyone else is doing it then why not me >> too". >> Yes, Gruss and others will disagree and say that people are smarter than >> that > > So let's follow the logic of this thread: we had a guy on this list > who, I believe, once said, "if it's black and it moves shoot it."
