    Israel has several lobbying organizations that watch news organizations and lodge complaints with them if coverage isn’t favorable. Check out the ex CNN employee who recently said they literally couldn’t publish without Isreal’s permission.

      It’s not even Israel either, Zionists world wide do it for free.

      There was a big leak of a group chat of influential Zionists in Australia a while ago were they planning how to get people fired, coordinate complaints to the media, etc.

      Insane. Marginally related… I’ve learned the last year or so since I took up a moderator position for a computer game… Some complaints you just gotta disregard no matter how many people whine. Being offended is a you problem. not ours. I’ve had this happen equally amongst people who were percieved as right wing, or lefties.

      evidentley the news doesn’t know enough to just laugh at the whining and disregard the complaint.

        The problem is they’re a profit seeking organization. And groups like CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America) can buy billboards telling people you’re a bad product and influence investors to stay away and invest in other news organizations.

      So, “the Jews control the media”, then? Sounds like you have a lot of important things to say that totally aren’t insane.

        I’m sorry where did I say that? Going from lobbying organizations that conduct pressure campaigns on specific issues to “controls the media” is one hell of a jump.

            I’m not “trying” anything. This shit is headline news. It has been for a year. Implying that people are racist conspiracy theorists for calling Israel on it’s bullshit isn’t going to do anything but backfire.

              “It’s not a crazy conspiracy theory, it just sounds exactly like one of the oldest ones in every way, coincidentally. Look, I have sources from an underfunded public news agency with zero standards and two fringe publications with recent objectivity scandals”
