What does this have to do with an explicit condemnation of antisemitism?

Let's drop it, OK?

Are names off limits now too? Didn't ask for the quote.

Additionally you may want to take a look on who was one of those who supported The Third Annual Brooklyn Jewish Film Festival: Artists and Activists, April 5?12. Nothing wrong with it! I went to it and saw many interesting things! Very moving by the way! But just for you to see the strong ties that exist between the Jewish community/population in the USA and the power.

what exactly did i miss that was supposed to let me #see the strong ties that exist between the Jewish community/population in the USA and the power#?

It wasn't meant to you but to Kiddpeat. And if you have an interest in it, I assume you are informed enough to know what I mean.

or ask to have your post deleted as it is misleading

I saw a long list of sponsers including city and state government. So what? Is the jewish population in New York influential? In Chicago, its the Irish. Is that some kind of ethnic conspiracy?

I told you that media was ruled HEAVILY by the Jewish population or those who have a Jewish background. That obviously makes the media being influenced by this group. Therefore, when you read a newspaper like Wall Street Journal, which Evie was referring to, you ought to know who the owner is or the CEO or the top executives among the papers. In that way you usually can figure out what their interests are too...

BTW, yes, the part of NY that I live in, has the heaviest Orthodox Jewish population in the world outside Israel.

in the post that Kiddpeat refers to you said #dditionally you may want to take a look on who was one of those who supported The Third Annual Brooklyn Jewish Film Festival#
you also said#But just for you to see the strong ties that exist between the Jewish community/population in the USA and the power#

you infer that in the list of people who visited the festival one name in particular should stand out.....

you then infer that the festival and/or the people who visited it and/or the name that you referred to should provide a link between the Jewish community/population in the USA and the power....

please be so kind as to explain, if possible in slightly greater detail, what it is that we (Kiddpeat and i at least) are missing...

The article you referred to, 'The Third Annual Brooklyn Jewish Film Festival: Artists and Activists, April 5?12' is a JEWISH film festival. Why are you surprised that Jews are named as sponsers?

BTW, I read the Wall Street Journal for years. I found it an excellent, conservative newspaper. I never had any impression of a particular ethnic influence. I stopped reading it because I found I did not have the time to read both it and a local paper.

Gosh, next we'll learn that many of the sponsors of the Puerto Rican Day parade are Puerto Rican.

That's where comments like Charlie's cross the line from factual (a lot of media outlets/companies are owned by people who happen to be Jewish) to racist (assuming that this means some organized Jewish conspiracy to "control" the media).

And of course trying to mitigate it with variants of the "some of my best friends" line doesn't help, does it.

someone said "some of my best friends are jews", he (Atticus Finch) replies "and some of your best friends are catholics, but you never feel the need to say it do you?"


*a sad world with sad people we live in*

I have never talked about conspiracies to control the media. I have just said that the fact that a certain ethnic group of the population has a lot of power (media, government etc) makes the media less reliable when it comes to issues involving that particualr ethnic group!

If we had a case where a white cop had shot a black man, would you believe that a newspaper with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson at the top was a reliable source of information in that particular case? I don't care if the president of the USA is Jewish (as long as it isn't Lieberman)! That is NOT the issue. The issue is that Evie quoted a newspaper with strong ties to the Jewish community in a matter that dealt with Jews and anti-Semitism and therefore I questioned its reliability as a source. That's it!

Do you question the integrity of newspapers owned by Protestants or Catholics because they're owned by Protestants or Catholics?


I didn't think so.

Do you question the integrity of publications owned by Skinheads or Neo-Nazis because they're owned by Skinheads or Neo-Nazis?

I expect the answer would be "Yes!"

It's all based on who you are willing to trust. In Charlies case it seems he's unwilling to trust the WSJ for some reason.

If you read the WSJ then you should definitely know who I am talking about!

You must be saying something about the editors or owners of the WSJ. I searched on Google for the editors, and did find one name: Tunku Varadarajan. Frankly, that doesn't look Jewish to me although I don't know how you would tell. The owner of the WSJ is the Dow Jones Company which looks to be a publicly traded company, so I don't see any ethnicity there. I seem to remember that a guy named Bartlet was a senior editor. Sorry, I just don't see the mystery.

Tunku Varadarajan was born into a Hindu family in Delhi in 1962. He went to high school in India and London and later graduated from Oxford University with a degree in law. He taught law there from 1987 until 1993, when he joined The Times of London as an editorial writer.

Subsequently, he moved to Madrid as that newspaper's bureau chief, and then on to New York, also as bureau chief. He now works as a freelance writer in New York and writes regularly for The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and the CNN/Sports Illustrated website. He is married with one son and two step-daughters.

Because it is you Kiddpeat I will reply and after this reply I am out of here for the simple reason that I have better things to do than to argue with some of the fellow members here.
