It wasn't us who said this. Instead, it's one of their own - an outspoken openly liberal talk show with a cynical view of the mainstream media.

On the June 11 Web portion of HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" called "Overtime," Newsweek editor Jon Meacham offered the argument there is not a pro-Israel bias in the media, which is often alleged.

"The idea that there is a pro-Israeli bias in the broad media - whatever 'the media' means at this point, I strongly disagree with," Meacham said. "I think if anything you run into a very strong feeling on the Palestinian side."

  • Rachel maked a good point and bill gave a non-answer.

  • The question is asked, “Who in mainstream American politics speaks out publically in a pro-Palestinian and Anti-Israeli way?”

    Bill Maher says, “I think they all do...” BUT HE DOES NOT GIVE ANY NAMES.

  • FUCK U MAHER

  • PEOPLE PLEASE!

    The woman asked the wrong question, she asked: "Who publicly supports Palestinians?"

    The answer is "Noone."

    The woman shouldve asked the right question: "Who publicly opposes Israel?"

    The answer is "Almost everyone."

    That is NOT THE SAME, because people can see the cruel oppression but they also can see what kind of scumbags the palestinians are and that they are responsible for most of what they go through.

    NOONE likes palestinians but MANY hate the jews. That's the status quo.

  • No one cares a whit about the victims of Israel's unbridled expansion. Except Jimmy Carter,Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Tutu, Jewish Voice for Peace.... You would think with that kind of backing they might get a mention, but we need to help Libya, or punish Syria or sanction Iran anything but help Palestinians.

  • @GodsGayLover Mmm...They're still pretty dominant in the media though

  • @tboladave Noam Chomsky areNorman Finkelstein academics not media and Christopher Hitchens is somewhat in the middle.

  • God Bless Israel! Haters going to Hate

  • Nobody could answer rachel's quite simple question. Tyhe claim was made that the media was pro Palestinians. She asked who in the media was pro palestian. The question was avoided

  • @MrMllx maked????? learn to spek u fukin foriner!

  • "most of them are against israel" ??? WTF??? just goes to show just how dishonest israel lovers are willing to be.
