Today’s Times has a long profile of Donald Diamond, an Arizona developer with close ties to the McCain campaign, raising questions about Diamond’s influence and McCain’s role in Diamond’s real estate deals. I’m guessing it’s 2000 words. Not a word mentioning that Diamond, 80 (and a WW2-era veteran), is a giant supporter of–
Israel. Here’s Diamond at an AIPAC event. Here he is leading a young men’s trip to Israel. Here he is being honored at the American-Israel Friendship League benefit. Once he was the local Jewish Federation’s Man of the Year. I am told Diamond is one of AIPAC’s biggest fundraisers in Arizona, "their man man in the Southwest."
Can you imagine the Times covering a big NRA guy’s support for a
presidential candidate and suppressing his love for guns, and the
policy implications of same? Of course not. But this is only the Middle
East, which has got the world on a boil… And of course the Times did the same thing with Sheldon Adelson… Our journalism is broken.
