Re: Once again, the MSM does "Yellow Journalism" and fans the flames of hatred

Yep, there's more:

Have you heard of Bloomberg? Nice name... conservative... guess what? He is saying much the same thing! But, don't take my word for it... read it yourself...

Let's play Jiggy,

NPR and The LA Times among others reported Willard's remarks as well as the Palestinian President's opinion of them. Today NPR clarified their report with more background as to where Willard gleaned his remark about the importance of culture and the assessment from a variety of sources indicating that occupation is a major factor in economic development and wages for workers in Palestine.

See for yourself, firsthand in the article appearing at NPR:

I can't see how you are claiming any slight from these words... seems pretty darned 'fair and balanced' to me.

All should condemn NPR and others for reporting the news with bias meant to fan hatred...   The reason of course to seek to maintain power over our language...  When a word is not what the Left wishes it to mean, then the "power" of their ideology diminishes...   One can look to the overuse of "racism" in it infinite finding of new and more subtle "racism" which is as complex in theory and logic as a earth centric cosmic theory (and just as wrong)...



What Romney said

"

"As you come here and you see the GDP per capita, for instance, in Israel which is about $21,000, and compare that with the GDP per capita just across the areas managed by the Palestinian Authority, which is more like $10,000 per capita, you notice such a dramatically stark difference in economic vitality," the Republican presidential candidate told about 40 wealthy donors who ate breakfast at the luxurious King David Hotel.

Romney said some economic histories have theorized that "culture makes all the difference."

"And as I come here and I look out over this city and consider the accomplishments of the people of this nation, I recognize the power of at least culture and a few other things," Romney said, citing an innovative business climate, the Jewish history of thriving in difficult circumstances and the "hand of providence." He said similar disparity exists between neighboring countries, like Mexico and the United States.

The AP and NPR have twisted his words to make it appear as if Romney was making a bigoted remark about Arabs or Palestinians--using an negative Jewish stereotype in the process. 

But it is the AP and NPR that introduce that stereotype with their description of "Jewish donors." The goal--as with the apocryphal "Anglo-Saxon" comment in the UK--is to make Romney out to be a bigot, lest American voters be impressed by his trip abroad.
