Who's Driving America's Liberalism?
Louis Calabro, president of the European-American
Issues Forum and California State University
professor Kevin MacDonald have been writing that
Jews are driving America's liberalism, for example,
the citizenry's refusal to insist on controlling
illegal immigration.
Calabro's and MacDonald's assertion is so belied
by the facts that one does wonder whether
anti-Semitism is at the root of their
arguments.
The list of most influential media people is
hardly dominated by Jews. For example, here are the
top editors at America's most influential
newspapers :
Washington Post: Leonard Downie, Jr., Los
Angeles Times: John Carroll, New York Times: Joseph
Lelyveld
The top executives in TV news: ABC: David
Westin, CBS: Andrew Heyward, NBC: Neal Shapiro,
PBS: Pat Mitchell, CNN: Jim Walton
The anchors of the TV networks' nightly news are
no mere mouthpieces. They have major editorial
control, as documented in the wonderful book, Bias,
by Bernard Goldberg--a former CBS executive
producer, a conservative, and a Jew. Who are the
anchors? Not a Jew among them: CBS: Dan Rather,
ABC: Peter Jennings, NBC: Tom Brokaw, PBS: Jim
Lehrer, CNN: Rudi Bakhtiar and Mike Galanos
The Sunday TV news show hosts: NBC's Meet the
Press: Tim Russert. CBS's Face the Nation: Bob
Schieffer, ABC's This Week: George
Stephanopoulos
And on the conservative side, Jews are well
represented. The most influential radio talk show
hosts against illegal immigration and reverse
discrimination are Dennis Prager and Michael
Savage, both Jews. The other superpopular
conservative talk show host other than Rush
Limbaugh is Dr. Laura Schlessinger, also a Jew.
Many of the most respected national conservative
columnists are Jews, for example: Dan Abrams, Mona
Charen, Jonah Goldberg, David Horowitz, Jeff
Jacoby, and Mort Zuckerman.
I wrote an article fully documenting--using
unimpeachable sources--the devastating effects of
uncontrolled immigration. I believe that it is
stronger than most of the 400+ articles I've had
published. I submitted it to executive and senior
editors (mostly Christians) at 30 major newspapers,
magazines, and websites. 29 of the 30 turned it
down--too politically incorrect, too hot to handle.
The 30th publication? The Jewish World Review. It
published the article the day after I submitted
it.
Jews are only 1.5% of the US population, and
their percentage is shrinking because of their low
birthrate and 55% intermarriage rate. As the facts
above reveal, even though Jews may be
overrepresented in the media as they are in most
professions, Christians are far more in control of
influencing our political views. Jews certainly are
not driving America's liberalism.
People such as Calabro and MacDonald risk
appearing like anti-Semites if they keep blaming
the Jews. They, who appropriately are concerned
about such issues as uncontrolled immigration and
reverse discrimination, must focus on the real
problem---that the American citzenry is not allowed
to hear responsible politically incorrect views on
such issues. We must protest this censorship from
the Left--consisting, as I've documented, mainly of
Christians--that dominate the mainstream media and
colleges. It's absurd and dangerous to blame the
Jews.
