[Peace-discuss] Focus; or, how racism covers war crime

[C. G. Estabrook]

  "Howard Kurtz, the media editor of the Washington Post, was among those 
journalists critical of [Helen] Thomas, suggesting that she should 'go home' to 
Lebanon and that she is a heroine to Hezbollah. Asked why the mainstream media 
has largely ignored Peretz's views over the years, Kurtz replied: 'I'm afraid I 
just haven't focused on the subject'"!

No surprise that the best coverage of this intensely home-grown embarrassment is 
found in the foreign media.
