Hands up all those who like taking free trips to Israel organised by the Zionist lobby? The Sydney Morning Herald’s Lenore Taylor does and her recent column simply “reported” alarmist Israeli comments over the supposed threat of Iran. It wasn’t journalism; it was very effective stenography. No alternative voices were offered. Today, in Murdoch’s Australian,…

The perfect storm with Zionist lobby and Islam haters
Max Blumenthal has the goods on the growing campaigns in the US organised with the Zionist lobby, anti-Muslim haters, Republican politicians and those looking for a scape-goat. Remember Jews; this is the new public face of our religion. What are you doing about it?
Wikileaks comes to the Murdoch bosom

Tragedy as a media back-drop (assisted by the kind folk at Fox News): Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin began a tightly stage-managed visit to Haiti on Saturday in which she visited cholera clinics while avoiding crowds and the press. The 2008 vice presidential candidate was a guest of Rev. Franklin Graham, whose aid group works…
Telling Fox News that Assange’s Australian rights must be protected
Fox News broadcasts yet another person who says Julian Assange should be murdered. Nice work, Murdoch. Get Up!’s Brett Solomon injects some sanity:
