The Missing Headlines
(Click headlines below for full stories) |
Below are news items largely going unreported by U.S. media, which are consistently Israeli-centric in their coverage. The main bureaus for CNN, AP, Time, etc are located in Israel and are often staffed by Israelis. Many U.S. journalists have ties to Israel: the son of the NY Times bureau chief is in the Israeli army; "pundit" Jeffrey Goldberg served in the Israeli military; Wolf Blitzer worked for the Israel Lobby.

How we choose what to post
Studies show that US news is extremely Israeli-centric. The main bureaus for CNN, AP, Time, etc. are located in Israel and often staffed by Israelis. The son of the NY Times bureau chief is in the Israeli army; "pundit" Jeffrey Goldberg served in the Israeli military; Wolf Blitzer worked for the Israel lobby, and numerous other journalists in the region have personal family ties to the Israeli military.
We believe that Americans should receive all the news about the region, not just that deemed reportable by those with Israeli connections. Accordingly, we are providing "The Missing Headlines," daily incidents and analysis largely missing from US media. Visit this site daily to see the missing half of the story:
