Advocacy Journalism

Abandoning all pretence of objecivity the liberal media continues its journalistic assault on Israel.John Snow on Ch 4 spits out his words contemptuosly when discussing Israeli action in Lebannon, making no attempt to conceal where his sympathies lie.The same scenario prevails on Sky news and of course the BBC.The only channel that gives anything approaching balanced reporting is Fox News.

Why has this lapse into jouranlistic advocacy occurred?Obviously Judeophobia is rife amongst the liberal media but what is so shocking is how brazen it has become, how naked and overt.

It has become so endemic in the MSM that Israel by rights should start to regard all such journalists in the field as enemy combatants, to be despatched with extreme prejudice.

We need to start viewing journalists in a whole new light from now on.Far from being impartial objective observers of events they now see themselves as players,influncers,catalysts,opinion shapers,change agents for liberalism.

So viscerally anti Israel,their emotions have gained ascendancy over reason,fair play,objectivity.They are now little more than pro Arab operatives and we should treat their journalistic outpourings with the suspicion disbelief and contempt they so manifestly warrant.

At least Sky reported that Lebanon had admitted Hizbollah members to its parliament.

The issue here I guess is that we can choose to pay to watch Sky or Fox but we are forced to subsidise the biased rantings of Snow and his ilk on the terrestrail stations via the tax licence system.

Channel 4 'News' is a bunch of criminal bastards;the BBC are worse, because they have the 'official' right to tell po-faced lies.
BTW, I get Sky News free on digital.
