Will the "Blood Libel" Anti-Semitic controversy be squashed by MSM?
Edited on Wed Jan-12-11 03:44 PM by Stuart G
Could the MSM just refuse to report this so called "controversy"?..


All the media has to do is not report it.
So.. no video to prove she said it,..then Sara could say there was some sort of mistake.
Kinda way out there, but would the MSM do that to protect her?

Now, I just looked at MSNBC.com, and the controversy over this, is gone.
.........It is also gone at Yahoo.News. was there one minute, gone the next.
.........Would the Media do something like that???

just asking...
maybe it wouldn't, but stranger things have happened

1. Just to add....at this moment, 3:41 eastern time..
there are no major stories about the anti-semitic nature of this comment in the New York Times..
This may change soon, but there are only 2 mentions of it as shown by a search. No mentions of Jewish groups
being offended by the term.

4. Time will tell.
They will find trying to defend her comments is akin to grabbing a tiger by the tail.

5. It looks like I am wrong.. and.that's ok...I don't mind saying so.
It is about 7pm in the east, and this discussion has made it back. At many places in the mainstream media, this term is being discussed in the context that we are talking about here, as an Anti - Semitic slur, and that is exactly what she meant it to be.
I am glad that this is not being covered up, but discussed. Let us see what will happen now.

6. It is on the CNN Political Ticker
but I doubt it will get much television coverage.
