No, just expressing my view.

I read it, it does not provide any "proof".
However, the article is interesting. It compares the US and European Press
without saying who is right or wrong. Its main conclusion is that the
European Press is more pro-Palestinian than what you have in the USA. I
actually agree with that. However, I'm sure being more pro-Palestinian does
not make the press pro-Palestinian – I’m sure you understand the difference.
I've read this quote (cut from the article), and others like it, a few times:
"European coverage is much more balanced and much less fixed on terrorism.
The lack of balance in [the US media's] approach ... comes to the fore when
one looks at European coverage, Jenin being a very good example. One can
look at the Knesset and the Israeli press and see far more criticism of the
Israeli government than there is here."
Do you agree with that John?
