Israel Bypasses MSM, Tweets Instead

Last year's death of journalism is leading the Israeli government to resort to more modern forms of mass communication.

Andrew Ian Dodge from Pajamas Media tells us how their message is being pushed through social networking sites like Twitter and YouTube rather than via the MSM outlets who've shown little interest in fair or balanced reporting.

It is clear that this will be the future for many organizations tired of being misrepresented in the press and of prejudiced members of the media always doing them down.

The Twitter feed (or "hashtag") AskIsrael and the YouTube site IDF (Israeli Defence Forces) are the channels being utilized to defend their decisions and to allow open discussion of the current conflict.

A brilliant move by an advanced-thinking leader in the world, of communication.

Good Ship Lollipop Gets Bumped

Compliments of Ralph Alter at Pajamas Media...

One of Washington's most entertaining politicians, Cynthia McKinney, is trying to inject herself into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The former Green Party candidate for president and her Hamas-sympathizing friends find their "Dignity" ruffled — and bumped — by the Israeli navy.

After meeting with Castro, hitting a Capital police officer, and playing bumper cars with Israel's Navy, what could possibly be next on Ms McKinney's agenda? Suicide bombing perhaps?
