Why won’t mainstream media ask tough questions of the Israel lobby? Mainstream media should be alarmed by what Jillian Segal is proposing by Jeffrey Loewenstein (was a member of the Victorian Bar and a one-time Chairman of the Anti-Defamation Commission and member of the Jewish Community Council of Victoria) 'One can argue that the mainstream media has been cowed into not challenging the various Zionist Jewish bodies on their often-outlandish assertions and claims, or defences of Israel, and simply steer clear as they know the fallout – including being accused of antisemitism – is just not worth it. The bully-boy tactics of these organisations will always be seen to come to the fore. Witness the unconscionable pile-on at the ABC in relation to Antoinette Lattouf – resulting in her Federal Court case – and the unmeritorious litigation launched against Mary Kostakidis. In the former ‘case’, the ABC was found to have wrongly sacked Lattouf, and in the latter the applicant – ZFA CEO Alon Cassuto – this month discontinued (that is, effectively abandoned) his claim in the Federal Court.' deepcutnews.com/p/why-wont-m…
