JEWISH INFLUENCE
IN THE MASS MEDIA (PT. 1)
“There is a new age of commercialism in American media, with its
concentration of power and its widening breech between the public interest
and the interests of the very few. In the coming century, the questions
about the integrity of America’s information and media
ownership are likely to be as fundamental to society as the purity of the
water we drink or the air we breathe.”
– Thomas Maier, p. 13
“So here I am again in purse and wallet country … briefcases, holdalls,
canvas football-bags – the swag that’s forever associated in my mind
with being Jewish. Cheap and ugly objects, made for others’ tastes, never
one’s own; Jews always second-guessing the gentiles, making little Hollywoods,
little Broadways, returning gentile ideas to the gentiles, giving
a Jew’s idea of what is gentile back to gentiles, wherever they go … If that
is a Jewish tune to which the Lauren Bacall and Faye Dunaway lookalikes
are dancing in Beverly Hills, then I wish someone other than Jews
had written it.”
Howard Jacobson, Jewish author, 1995, p. 26, 208
“I wonder if any of our immigrant grandparents could have imagined
that on the eve of the 21st century, Jews would comprise 11 percent of
the United States Senate, dominate the entertainment industry as never
before, while at the same time boasting the most popular professional
wrestler as well as the most notorious spy in the country?”
Jonathan Tobin, Jewish author, 1-4-99, p. 5
“Non-Jewish participants [in a Los Angeles-area survey sponsored by
the Zionist women’s organization Hadassah], most of whom did not
grow up with Jews or know them personally, had vivid resentments toward
Jews for their economic success, seeing them as ‘insular,’ superior
and rich. They repeated the canards that Jews own the media, run the
studios, own the Wilshire/Fairfax district. Jews were praised for their
work ethic and strong family solidarity, but were regarded with suspicion,
as being important behind-the-scenes players, lawyers who took
advantage of their clients and media manipulators who slanted the press
in the O. J. Simpson case.”
Marlene Adler Marks, New Jersey Jewish News, 4-23-98, p. 5]
