    Don't you believe that Sandy Hook was fake?

    The US Army has an interesting take on the word "assume".

    Assume makes an ass out of you and me. :wink:

    If you bother to check out the link I provided you, you will discover that in certain respects, Jones was right.

    He is not mentioned anywhere in the link, but it's scholarly, to say the least.

    The NY Times has a paywall so, to be honest, I didn't follow how it covered the Congresswomen in question but would have expected it to have had an unflattering assessment of anyone critical of Israel.
    Sorry...

    You do realise that these Congresswomen are critical of Israel, right? And what are you sorry about?

    I was simply apologizing for not following the issue more closely and giving you a more thorough response.

    Yes, I do realize that these tormented women have been critical of the Israeli government's ethnic cleansing, war crimes and acts of aggression.

    They also have been critical of the control that Israeli lobbies have over US Policy making and the extent to which the US Government enables Israel's machinations.

    I am also aware that they have been unjustly persecuted as "anti Semitic" by the usual "Israel Firsters" in and out of US Government.

    I simply have not followed the NY Times version of events because I do not consider it a credible source when it comes to Mid East related reporting so, if it has been supportive of the congresswomen, I would be pleasantly surprised.

    I think most of the media is anti wester culture, whatever tears the USA and western Europe down is what they promote.

    It's non principled vitriolic self hate and nothing more.

    Actually, it was very carefully orchestrated and promoted by Samuel Untermyer and Cyrus Scofield to change Protestantism in favor of Christian Zionism. Lord Balfour was an ardent Christian Zionist..

    Are you?

    No need to apologise.

    You do know that the New York Times is very supportive of Democrats, right?

    It's not a matter of faith madam, it is a matter of knowing the facts and understanding that we're dealing with humans in powerful positions.

    Perhaps so, but a small minority of the population is able to think and reason for themselves, on their own.

    As Mencken put it, "The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable."

    Alex Jones is a predator.. like Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.. They know who their audience is and play to fear and ignorance. That's a cottage industry in America.. Look at Spencer and Horowitz.

    Yes, I do know that the NY Times is supportive of Democrats except I would expect it to be critical of Democrats and anyone else who is not appropriately loyal to AIPAC/Israel.

    I believe you when you say that they have been supportive of the Congresswomen who have been critical of Israel but it's something that I just wouldn't expect with its history:

    "Journalists blast NY Times for pro-Israel bias and “grotesque” distortion of illegal occupation of Palestine”
    http://www.salon.com/2016/05/26/journalists_blast_ny_times_for_grotesque_pro_israel_bias_and_distortion_of_illegal_occupation_of_palestine/

    EXCERPT “The Times regularly fails to mention that the Palestinian territories have been illegally occupied by Israel since 1967. It often uses euphemistic language to describe Israel’s illegal activity, dubbing lands unlawfully seized by Israel in violation of international law “disputed” territory.

    Rights activists have been so frustrated by the publication’s skewed reporting that, in February, activists from progressive Jewish human rights groups created a very convincing-looking fake edition of the Times to protest its coverage of Israel-Palestine.”CONTINUED

    No, the Democrats mean WAY TOO much to the NY Times for them to be critical about them in ANY way!
