A former AP correspondent (Matti Friedman) writes: “A reporter working in the international press corps here understands quickly that what is important in the Israel-Palestinian story is Israel. If you follow mainstream coverage, you will find nearly no real analysis of Palestinian society or ideologies, profiles of armed Palestinian groups, or investigation of Palestinian government. Palestinians are not taken seriously as agents of their own fate. The West has decided that Palestinians should want a state alongside Israel, so that opinion is attributed to them as fact, though anyone who has spent time with actual Palestinians understands that things are (understandably, in my opinion) more complicated. Who they are and what they want is not important: The story mandates that they exist as passive victims of the party that matters.”
This is how the MSM treats blacks in general, mestizos, Arabs, Muslims and other groups nobody expects much from. These minorities are just props for high-IQ whites to use to establish moral superiority with each other (Steve Sailer).
CNN:
Steve Sailer, a columnist for The American Conservative magazine, wrote last year that some whites who support Obama aren’t driven primarily by a desire for change.
They want something else Obama offers them: “White Guilt Repellent,” he wrote.
“So many whites want to be able to say, ‘I’m not one of them, those bad whites. … Hey, I voted for a black guy for president,’ ” Sailer wrote.
Sailer cited another reason why many whites want Obama as president:
“They hope that when a black finally moves into the White House, it will prove to African-Americans, once and for all, that white animus isn’t the cause of their troubles. All blacks have to do is to act like President Obama – and their problems will be over.”
Friedman writes: “Corruption, for example, is a pressing concern for many Palestinians under the rule of the Palestinian Authority, but when I and another reporter once suggested an article on the subject, we were informed by the bureau chief that Palestinian corruption was “not the story.” (Israeli corruption was, and we covered it at length.)”
The same goes for the MSM’s attitude to black corruption. It’s not the story. White corruption is the story.
“Israeli actions are analyzed and criticized, and every flaw in Israeli society is aggressively reported.”
Reminds me of how the MSM focuses on white flaws.
