This week we look at some of the messages coming from the corporate media in the wake of the George Zimmerman verdict. And CBS gives Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu a platform to spread alarm over Iranian nukes. Plus a look at what corporate-owned TV networks think is newsworthy–a royal baby, not the trial of Bradley Manning.
FAIR TV: Trayvon Martin, Iran Bluster, Bradley Manning Blackout
Dear Peter Hart,
When you broadcast about Mr. Netanyahu’s supposed fear-mongering, at least pronounce his name correctly and not ridiculously. It’s not NET’n-ya-hu;: it’s n’TAN-ya-hu. Be advised, or you will contnue too look direspectful–as well as foolish.
Sincerely,
Madeline Kripke
I listened to Peter Hart say the name of the criminal that you mentioned and stated that Hart mispronounced his name – are you kidding me ! Get a life and a grip on reality. Mr. Net should be in jail as a war criminal for his treatment of innocent people in Palestine and people like you should extract your head from your butt hole – ASAP.
But Madeline, Mr. Netanyahu has been saying for at least a decade that Iran has a bomb. People already fell for that story with Iraq, including the,” ask- me- no -questions,” corporate media; we seem to still be in Iraq. The people of America, and America itself, need the full focus of Congress from infrastructure to food stamps to jobs, to breaking up the big banks. we do not need another war. After more than a decade of screaming “Iran has a bomb,” Mr. Netanyahu has no street creds left with much of the public.
To Ms. Kripke, and I always so that spy who stole atomic triggers from the USA, I thought his name was NetanYahoo judging from the way his ridiculous pronouncements are taken seriously. To disrespect NetanYahoo is a crime? Since when does he deserve not only the contempt but the disgust of civilized humans?

Kind of proud of Fair contributors today.They went after that dirty jew who leads Israel ,and is out to conquer the world as he co-opts America into a global war of zionism,before they even thought about going after that murderer with a Jew name,who kills anyone for buying skittles he feels like.OK I actually don’t believe any of that.Im bowing to peer pressure and I just want some of you ignoramuses to like me.”But now you like me right?You really really do”
Contrary to the consensus of FAIR blog’s intellectuals, the war criminal yahoo of Israel has credibility where it counts: with the governments of the world. They have placed a cruel regime of sanctions on the ordinary people of Iran. Those of us who have been around remember the 1.5 million people these sanctions (by both Bush I and Clinton) killed in Iraq in the 90’s. Sanctions never touch the decision-making body of a rogue regime. They hurt their victims!
So the scared sheeple of the US and Europe continue to stay silent vis-à-vis Israel as millions are victimized by a country created out of whole cloth for European settlers (Jews) on someone else’s ancestral land!
I think people should be named, like Ryan Julison. “A pivotal, if little-known, figure in the Martin story’s development was Ryan Julison, an Orlando public relations executive who began working with the Martin family at the behest of its attorneys, Benjamin Crump and Natalie Jackson.” Julison’s faceboook boasts he worked with the media & links to stories he pushed with initial false claims of “Zimmerman is white.”
Julison’s PR firm is responsible for supplying the media with the out dated pic of Martin as a young boy. That was deception because he didn’t look like that, he looked like a noticeable older teen in the picture Martin’s father gave police to identify Martin. It was media malpractice to use and continue to use the several years old photo of Trayvon Martin. http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2012-04-12/lifestyle/35450681_1_trayvon-martin-story-george-zimmerman-unarmed-teenager
@ Michael e: To imply that you are under “peer pressure” to use the term “dirty jew” and to refer to George Zimmerman has having a “jew name” suggests that you would do well the seek the services of a psychiatrist. No rational, mature adult uses such terms in any context whatever, and I disagree with FAIR that your barely literate, grammatically challenged, rambling, off-point, and often incomprehensible comments deserve to be allowed in this site.
I realize that my comment here constitutes feeding the troll, but to me, you have crossed over the line of decency, and I would hope others might agree.
John Q….Im making fun of so many on this sight -who Im afraid believe, what it was I am being sarcastic about.On fair for instance I would say all comments and articles concerning Israel run about 95% negative.So maybe that does not include you.Maybe you see Zimmerman not as a jew…..not as a white Latino(whatever the hell that is)Maybe you just see him as a man who does town watch work and found himself on a dark rainy night smashed in the face and having his head bashed into the cement by someone he thought suspicious.Maybe a thief.Maybe even a violent individual.Maybe you know in that position that you would of used your gun to save your life.Maybe im wrong then.
Ms. Kripke, and Mr. E – If you have any questions about Mr. Netanyahooo, please ask his son who is sitting in jail for refusing to serve in the imprisonment of Palestinians behind a concrete concentration camp wall. Maybe then you will understand why Israel, who commits international crimes against humanity and never has to be accountable for them like everyone else. There is a huge list I personally could put up of just such crimes, but then I get that you would not want to see them and have to deal with them, same with Ms Kripke. Be grateful that people are “attempting” to use his name and getting it wrong, rather than calling him the animal nazi that he is turning out to be. Would you like to see a video of men with IDF uniforms trapping a 14 year old palestinian kid whose organs were harvested and then sold on the black market and the 8 year old that saw what these men did and tried to hide? You live in a fantasy world like we used to do. No more.
Just this once, I will agree that the Royal Birth is not part of any conspiracy to divert American TV viewers’ attentions away from important news. But I still refuse to agree that the Royal Birth is important news.
