Journalism 101: Don’t Use ‘Wow’ and ‘Holocaust’ in the Same Sentence

The National Post is Canada’s second newspaper. It is famous (per Wikipedia) for misreporting on its front page two years ago that "IRAN EYES BADGES FOR JEWS". A strong supporter of Israel, it is owned by the Jewish family of the late Izzy Asper, and is over-the-top about Islamofascism and jihad and us being in the same war as Israel.

Here is a crazy piece saying "it may not be long" before Muslims are firing rockets into Newark as they are firing them into Sderot: 

Israel is Western civilization’s canary in the coal mine. If Israel
cannot survive, perhaps Western civilization — pluralistic,
democratic, individualistic, secular, free-trading and devoted to the
rule of law — will be unable to last, either.

And here is a piece saying that the Tibetans have true reason to feel oppressed, unlike the Palestinians.

[I]f Islamist claims of a "Holocaust" in Gaza and the West Bank are to be believed, then Tibet has suffered at least 100 holocausts. Wow — that’s a lot of Holocausts

I make the assumption that the National Post never runs pieces by the likes of me. And this is how the Israel lobby works. Zionists use their cultural power to tilt the scales of American journalism in favor of Israel. This is not journalism, it’s propaganda. Even in the Times, bad reporting of this issue has damaged our democracy, as Jerry Slater has established. And meantime the settlements proliferate, and the Financial Times says what no journal here can say: America must choose peace or the settlements.
