One of Time Warners top executives moonlights as a speechwriter for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, warning the west about Iran.
Gary Ginsberg, executive vice president of corporate marketing and communications for Time Warner, advised Netanyahu to pull out the famous bomb cartoon at the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 and helped craft such lines as the claim that Iran threatens Israel with nuclear extinction.
When hes in the United States, hes a friend of mine, I help him, Ginsberg told me today. Time Warner is fully aware of his unpaid work for the Israeli prime minister, he said, but the company has not disclosed his work to the public.
No. Why would they do that? he said. I do this in my free time as a friend of the prime ministers. I in no way get paid This is my free time. This is not as a corporate executive, this is in my personal capacity.

I'm sure Time Warner properties can be trusted to give us a pure, unbiased view of issues related to Israel and Iran.

Because they are definitely biased against Israel.
Generally speaking, though, Israel gets friendlier coverage in the US media than in any other media in the world, possibly including Israel.
The anti-Israel biases comes mainly from non-US sources.

So if by US media you don't mean Americans with websites that purport to be sources of news and information about Israel then I would say that the US media is definitely not biased against Israel and I would be surprised to find anyone who thought otherwise.

(45,850 posts)6. well there ya have it - Weiss is a niche blog, if you're not interested in I/P
chances are you're not familiar with him, Time-Warner OtOH is another story

What a genius...
