    The US media coverage of the Israel/Palestine conflict is atrocious. I read somewhere that a sizeable portion of the US population think that it is the Palestinians that are occupying Israeli land illegally. Where does that kind of thinking come from? Admittedly the media doesn't quite bring it down to that level, but this kind of thinking doesn't come out of nowhere.

    Like it or not, the US media has been manipulated in the most horrible way by pro Israel lobbyists. You just need to take a look at the New York Times to see how truth and factual reporting often go by the wayside. Or else important news is simply not reported at all! Even the BBC has been found to be biased in favour of the Israeli's, but at least they have the gall to investigate the nature of this reporting themselves and admit that even they get it wrong sometimes.

    The US media has none of this ability to face up to reality nor self correct. They are completely impartial all the way.

    With the kind of media you absorb everyday, it is no wonder that you have the kind of perspective that you do on the issue.

    Nameless, MSNBC is just the same as FoxNews only it's the other end of the spectrum.

    So if we agree that there is some sort of "bias" on the topic of Israel vs Palestine then we can figure that on other issues there are biases about other subjects as well.

    I think we can agree that bias exists and that there is bias on other issues too.
