Who's Driving America's Liberalism?

Louis Calabro, president of the European-American Issues Forum and California State University professor Kevin MacDonald have been writing that Jews are driving America's liberalism, for example, the citizenry's refusal to insist on controlling illegal immigration.

Calabro's and MacDonald's assertion is so belied by the facts that one does wonder whether anti-Semitism is at the root of their arguments.

The list of most influential media people is hardly dominated by Jews. For example, here are the top editors at America's most influential newspapers :

Washington Post: Leonard Downie, Jr., Los Angeles Times: John Carroll, New York Times: Joseph Lelyveld

The top executives in TV news: ABC: David Westin, CBS: Andrew Heyward, NBC: Neal Shapiro, PBS: Pat Mitchell, CNN: Jim Walton

The anchors of the TV networks' nightly news are no mere mouthpieces. They have major editorial control, as documented in the wonderful book, Bias, by Bernard Goldberg--a former CBS executive producer, a conservative, and a Jew. Who are the anchors? Not a Jew among them: CBS: Dan Rather, ABC: Peter Jennings, NBC: Tom Brokaw, PBS: Jim Lehrer, CNN: Rudi Bakhtiar and Mike Galanos

The Sunday TV news show hosts: NBC's Meet the Press: Tim Russert. CBS's Face the Nation: Bob Schieffer, ABC's This Week: George Stephanopoulos

And on the conservative side, Jews are well represented. The most influential radio talk show hosts against illegal immigration and reverse discrimination are Dennis Prager and Michael Savage, both Jews. The other superpopular conservative talk show host other than Rush Limbaugh is Dr. Laura Schlessinger, also a Jew. Many of the most respected national conservative columnists are Jews, for example: Dan Abrams, Mona Charen, Jonah Goldberg, David Horowitz, Jeff Jacoby, and Mort Zuckerman.

I wrote an article fully documenting--using unimpeachable sources--the devastating effects of uncontrolled immigration. I believe that it is stronger than most of the 400+ articles I've had published. I submitted it to executive and senior editors (mostly Christians) at 30 major newspapers, magazines, and websites. 29 of the 30 turned it down--too politically incorrect, too hot to handle. The 30th publication? The Jewish World Review. It published the article the day after I submitted it.

Jews are only 1.5% of the US population, and their percentage is shrinking because of their low birthrate and 55% intermarriage rate. As the facts above reveal, even though Jews may be overrepresented in the media as they are in most professions, Christians are far more in control of influencing our political views. Jews certainly are not driving America's liberalism.
