Bias in US media

The US media only portrays events through bias in favor of Israel. No public figure can dare criticize Israel or support the rights of Palestinians without being accused of anti-Semitism. But, America is losing influence in the world, and they can’t prop up an apartheid and theocratic state forever. What does America get out of this relationship?

because the jewish propaganda machine is BIG in US. And a lot jews have big power in politics, law etc. Palestinians don't have such a thing in US. So their opinions are seldomly heard. simple..

Well I'm not surprised given Our media.

I noticed Palestinian Leader Mahmoud Abbas was just hear.
He seemed to get minimal coverage despite there being a
major statement on the Gaza situation.
Also, there are Autopsy Reports and pictures from the
flotilla Shootings that aren't reported Here.
I was looking at Al Jazeera.
