If you have a spare hour and 19 minutes, watch this video it's quite interesting.

Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land provides a striking comparison of U.S. and international media coverage of the crisis in the Middle  ... all » East, zeroing in on how structural distortions in U.S. coverage have reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This pivotal documentary exposes how the foreign policy interests of American political elites--oil, and a need to have a secure military base in the region, among others--work in combination with Israeli public relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over how news from the region is reported. Through the voices of scholars, media critics, peace activists, religious figures, and Middle East experts, Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land carefully analyzes and explains how--through the use of language, framing and context--the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza remains hidden in the news media, and Israeli colonization of the occupied terrorities appears to be a defensive move rather than an offensive one. The documentary also explores the ways that U.S. journalists, for reasons ranging from intimidation to a lack of thorough investigation, have become complicit in carrying out Israel's PR campaign. At its core, the documentary raises questions about the ethics and role of journalism, and the relationship between media and politics

OMG is this a video that shows that Jews flew the Planes into the Pentagon that never actually hit the Pentagon .  I love conspiracy videos. 

oh yeh, I better watch it and believe it and talk about everything in as being the gospel truth while arguing with people.  then when they prove that parts of the movie are wrong, I will just move on to something else in the movie.  Then in my next argument with somebody else, I will still bring up the part of the movie that I already know is incorrect and still state it as fact.  This will make me a truely powerful liberal, capable of winning debates about evil republicans, christains, and jews.  OH boy, I can just imagine the UBAR bumper stickers I'll get for my VW when the people at the peace rally hear about this.  I can't wait to pwn some repubs with this UBAR new knowledge.

Good thing you're being sarcastic.  You would only have to watch the first five minutes to see that many of the talking heads are themselves Jewish.

<sarcasm>You sure showed that straw man, though.</sarcasm>

How did you connect this with liberalism? I hope you realize that a ranting, off-topic diatribe about your political opponents makes you look like an immature douche.
I'm thankful that your typing and grammar skills are that of a 5 year old, and therefore you most likely do not vote.

As you'll learn quite quickly, there is very little point in responding to anything that Spittle writes

lol, the Neo-Cons are using this whole Israel situation as an opportunity to lable liberals as anti-semitist, despite the fact that Jews in the US vote democrat 80 percent of the time. 

Plus the fact that histories most infamous right-winger murdered 6 million of them.

Labelling anyone who criticises Israel as Anti-Semitic has been going on for years

Hitler was a registared democrat, thus the state controlled health care, schools, and the high five sign.

Interesting footnote:
State sponsored welfare was brought into the mainstream by famed militarist Otto von Bismark.

You're thinking of another video, obviously, because that's entirely off topic
