Having just finished this article about the NY Times once again pulling a "Judith Miller" and shilling for the Administration on Page One, I am ready to scream. No....actually, I am screaming! However, I do believe there is more to all of this than just shoddy journalism. Nowhere in the article is there mention of another agenda at the Times--not necessarily the reporter's agenda. He is, after all, just an employee and must bend to the will of the editorial board in order to get published! What is not said, and seems never to be said, is the obvious connection with Israel that underlies this "war mood" the Administration and the media are back into promoting! This is a neo-con tactic, as was the whole WMD farce in the Iraq War. And it is so tied in with our incestuous relationship with Israel. Why, oh why, do so few in the media speak of that? Is it the threat of being called an anti-Semite? I would hope that is not the case, because I most definitely am not, and ,in fact, have relatives living in Israel. But I think the media must have the courage to speak truth to power. I am waiting!!!!
