Message:   Obviously the media is ruled by captialism, they are there to sell papers. They are slanted in the direction that makes them money.

My reference to Al Ahram was sort of figurative, if you've read one you have pretty much read them all.

It is not uncommon for Al Jazeera's first page to have 60+ headlines and 20+ percent of them are about Israel and the Palestinians for days and days. If you count all the Israeli and Palestinians together it is about 1 or 2 percent of the Arab/Muslim world. It's almost like an obsession with them.

And how many Arab newspapers print anything positive about Jews or Israelis? Occasionallly you see something "almost positive" about Tikkun or Gush Shalom, but very seldom. Hell - if all I read was Arab papers I'd probably hate Jews too.

I have seen some writings that are mildly anti-government (like Saudia papers openly discussing women's rights to drive and vote), but sill nothing positive about the Jews.

Thanks for your compliment about being polite - but just because I'm a Jew and a Zionist (I travel to Israel, but I'm not an Israeli) doesn't mean I am anti-Arab. It is unfortunate that people seem to hate first and think second.

Shalom - Robby
