I think you're starting to say scary things, old fellow. I don't understand the relevance of your earlier questions.MurphyStout wrote:Hmmm, have you ever watched prime time TV? Over 50% of the people on those shows are jewish. Ever seen Friends? Have you ever heard of the credit card industry? Ever hear of NBC? They most certainly do own much of the media and a large portion of the money in this country. And you say that people where sympathetic to isrealis in the 50s? Over half people who were alive and watching movies in the 50's and 60's (outside of the baby boomers) disliked jews and so did the generations before them. I spend alot of time talking with the world war 2 generation and almost all of them don't like Jews. No, it started after those guys because the media was able to effect the baby boomers and the following generations.
No, I'm not saying it got everyone to like the jews because enough people still don't like Jews to the point where Bush got elected. But the fact of the matter showing Haluacost films every year on network television and in theatres, and filling roles with Jewish actors is a direct way to influence people to like jews and it is a direct way to control how they feel towards Isreal. In effect it helps them form public opinion and this is just one of many examples on how Big Money and Interests use the media to form public opinion. And yes, the people have to go along with it for it to work so in that way there is a checks and balance but it still works nonetheless.
TV in the 50s was not a prime mover of American
opinion, it was often test patterns. So far you've given
no support to the claim that Jews own much of the media,
with which I disagree.
I was alive and kicking in the 50s, and plainlya Jew. I travelled
to various places, went to school in various places.
I virtually never experienced hostility or prejudice against
Jews. So I disagree with your assessment of American
hostility toward Jews. Thank heaven I was born here.
Movies about The Holocaust are made because the
Holocaust is one of the most important and interesting
things in human history. Jewish actors are in them
because they're good actors; they're on TV because
ethnic characters are interesting. Please think twice
before posting this stuff. Best
