      Explain to me what you think the MSM is. The screenshot in this very post shows the New York Times, The Washington Post, Newsweek, and a 4th presumably main stream media organization demonstrating Isreal’s meddling.

      Do you not believe those to be MSM? If not, define it right here, and not the way that idiot Owen Shroyer kept messing up in his deposition.

        How many times has any of those said Israel is meddling with the US elections? And how many times has been about Russian meddling?

        I think the point is that the MSM does not describe the Israeli meddling as actually “meddling” whilst they do describe Russia’s meddling as such.

        The way in which events of Israel influencing American politics is reported seldom if at all carry the tone of disproval that is carried by that very same newsmedia’s reporting of events of Russia influencing American politics, not even close.

        I mean, if the same moral weight was being used for both, the Democrats For Israel and Republicans For Israel groups in Congress would be described in the same terms as any Democrats For Russia or Republicans For Russia would, either outright calling them “traitors” or implying it.
