Wall Street Journal: Bias Galore
Wall Street Journal makes me so mad. Not only are they openly extreme right wing but also anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant and I wouldn’t be surprised if they were all members of KKK. I had already exposed their ignorant reporting once and here is another case:
In this article, they intentionally refer to the capital of Israel as Jerusalem when it’s an established fact that it is considered disputed territory. Israel has tried its best to annex as much of Jerusalem as it can, claiming some sort of a God bestowed divine right (while we’re at it, maybe I should bring to world’s attention my right to own the French Polynesian island of Bora Bora).
They accuse the French of being one sided for calling the Israeli offensive ‘totally disproportionate’ but ignore Bush’s statement of unconditional support for Israel. Apparently, it’s only one sided if you don’t defend Israel.
No mention of dead civilians from Israeli air strikes but sympathy is expressed for ‘Israelis hunkering down in bomb shelters.’ I wonder what kind of bomb shelters are being used to protect against the American made laser guided missiles dropped by Israeli jets?
And what’s with the constant reference to Israel as the ‘Jewish State.’ I don’t hear anyone saying ‘the Muslim state was bombed by Israel.’ No wonder people see it as a battle for the Jews to ‘survive’ instead of a struggle by the Palestinians for a homeland.
Another article against the ceasefire is written by someone who is a former Republican and has served as the editor for:
"Showdown: Why China Wants War With the United States"
"Inside the Asylum: Why the U.N. and Old Europe Are Worse Than You Think"
You can imagine how ‘objective’ his views must be. Remember, always look at the history of the author when it comes to press reporting.
