Well, perhaps Emile has actual proof that the American media is dominated by a Zionist conspiracy. However, I don't believe anything I read on Holocaust denial white supremacist web pages, so the source would have to be more objective. I know that serious books have been written about the subject, one of which I read. However, that was many years ago, and I no longer have it, so I cannot quote it or really remember it very accurately. One of the things I said, however, is that American newspapers tend to present a very Zionist view of Israel. Since the publications you read at present are not predominantly American, it is not surprising to me that you don't notice a bias. I think The Economist in particular is very balanced in its coverage. The percentage of Americans who even reads international news in print form is extremely small. Most news is gathered from brief television reports. While '60 Minutes' has done some good pieces which were fair to the Palestinians, and critical to Zionist settlers, I have never noticed much objectivity in the network news. Israel is almost always perceived as a place we Americans should support with money, weapons, and troops if need be, without question. I have never, ever seen any in-depth reporting of why the situation got so polarized, or even how Israel started. I don't think many Americans have a clue, really.
