Mr. Pipes:
I usually enjoy your articles. I am a hard core right wing half Jew, born and raised in NYC. I agree wtih everything you said in your article refuting Jewish media control except for two big things.
First, the "larger role" played by Jews in the media assumes near total control - so please, let us be specific. I am a retired Army intelligence officer and I am compiling a media order of battle, and as you would expect, when it comes to ownership and operation of the most influential organs of American media power, Jews are in almost total control.
Second, while two Jews will give you three different opinions, Jews overwhelmingly lean left, and you know it - or you ought to know it. The result of Jewish dominance and Jewish left leaningness is the comparable effect of a liberal media conspiracy.
Look at it this way. It would not take any conspiring for a group of white southerners to exonerate a white member of the Ku Klux Klan in pre-1970 Mississippi. There was a predominant mindset that you could rely on. Same thing with liberal media Jews. No conspiring is necessary, but most of them lean left and take very comparable positions on issues. Thus they will go after the likes of a Sarah Palin with equal gusto and they will cover up for their left wing buddies. In fact, I mockingly call their power structure The Kosher Nostra Media-Entertainment-Political complex. ...
