I said, "You would do better in a communist, or fascist, country, where the government controlled ALL the news" You responded: "you mean like israel?". Now the difficult part. I need to find out if your answer came from ignorance or stupidity. Israel is a democracy. The Jerusalem Post, is one of several newspapers, and it is totally independent from the government. If you are really interested in reading the Jerusalem Post, here is a link: jpost.com

<< sure it is. mostly jewish people. >> Let's say that you are right, that the news is controlled by mostly Jewish people. If that were true, how do you think that Jews got control over the news? It is a very competitive industry and requires high levels of education, encompassing communication skills, reading skills, writing skills, etc. Before you read a newspaper, or watch a news show, do you first look at a list of the producers, directors, editors, analysts, writers, etc., to see if they are Jewish?

<< advertisers (many of them jewish), care more about being politically correct and avoiding boycotts >> Well..... at least you didn't say "all of them Jewish". <g> To become an advertiser, you first need to develop a business, or get the skills that businesses need, so that you can get a job, with a company, that advertises. One thing I do know is that you are not antiSemitic. You have such a high opinion of the small minority of Jews in America. You imply that they have the skills to run the news and control the advertising. What else have Jewish people worked long hours, and studied long hours to achieve? You seem to be keeping a list. <g>
