Mehdi Hasan on the Majority Report last week on the media presentation of the student protests as violent:
They get attacked by pro-Israel counter protesters on Sunday and Wednesday night. Jewish professors like David Myers, distinguished history professor at UCLA, Dov Waxman, chair of Israel studies at UCLA, are coming out and saying it’s the counter-protesters, it’s people shouting stuff in Hebrew, right, attacking us viciously.
That happens and the New York Times is “well, we’re not sure who did it”, CNN are like “well, both sides attacked each other.” Are you joking? It’s on camera.
