Actually the pro-Israelis rant about pro-Arab bias and the pro-Arabs
rant about pro-Israli bias. To me, this indicates the press is in
the neighborhood of evenhandedness.

You mean when Palestinian deaths get as many column-lines as Israeli
ones? I've seen much more on the suicide bomber victims that the
Isreali military operation victims, even though there's three times
as many of the latter.

Anyway, as Harvey pointed out, the press isn't monolithic. If you think
the reporting isn't fair, grab your camera and head in to give the real
story! Nobody's stopping you - except the Israelis.
