[QUOTE="AlanH, post: 1447986, member: 246895"] It should be no surprise that in the current Israeli onslaught of Palestinians in Gaza, the American media is taking an avowedly pro-Israel stance. But I have noticed that many- perhaps most- Americans are themselves taking this position. While most Europeans- who are better educated on world events by far- take a more objective stance, Americans tend to have this "Israel can do no wrong" mentality. Do you feel that this is due to the media's brainwashing or simply because corn-fed Americans are about as smart and sophisticated as their corn-fed cows? Insults from gung-ho American Joes are welcome, as this simply proves the point. Zorak: I have been watching, and CNN is going out of its way to make the Israeli offensive appear justified. It is also showing as much damage in Israel as possible to make it appear that there is some degree or proportionality. I won't even talk about Fox News.
