Backlash Builds Over ‘60 Minutes’ Hatchet Job on Israel
And Cliff May of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies had this to say: “It’s truly mystifying: Is this the result of ignorance or bias or some cocktail of the two? Recently, the highest religious authority in Saudi Arabia called for the demolition of more Christian churches. ‘60 Minutes’ ignored it.”
He continued: “Indeed, the most important, indeed, historic story that the major media refuse to tell is about the persecution and ‘cleansing’ of Christians (and other religious and ethnic minorities) from what we have come to call the Muslim world. ‘60 Minutes,’ once a great news show, apparently does not have the courage to report that story. But maliciously beating up on Israel, the only country in the Middle East that has a growing Christian community, a free Christian community — that’s apparently too easy and satisfying to resist.”
