One time I accidentally flicked onto German TV - I am not sure which channel - and they were talking about Berlin getting overrun by antisemitic mobs. I looked out my hotel window. No antisemitic mob.

I really don't think they're more reliable than UK or US media.

Well that kind of "news" is persistent and often completely false. Meanwhile churches and mosques and people get destroyed by the "best friend and ally" of the US. It's a coordinated disinformation campaign by the agency whose motto is "by deception we wage war"

Nothing to see here, move along move along.

I reconcile it by realizing that advertisers wield enormous power. Also, it's not called "good information" it's called "news" - nothing is promised in terms of guaranteed good factual content. And I remember that Palestinians are semites. So are Arabs. Immigrants from Eastern European flocking to the mideast are not semites at all.

The fact that most Palestinians are Semitic people and most modern Israelis are not Semitic is amusing, but we all know that when people say antisemitic they don't mean anti-Palestinian.
