Yep, the American media does a great job to stir up hatred as to somehow
justify it's shameful foreign policy. Omitting facts about the Holocaust by
repeating (and repeating) only the figures on Jewish victims is not real
journalism, it's blatant propaganda. The same goes for the media creating or
reinforcing the stereotypes of the "lazy Mexican," the "black criminal," the
"bad Asian driver," the "Arab terrorist," or the "suffering Jew." We laugh
about it without realizing how destructive it is to create a generation of
bigots.
