JERUSALEM ? The Los Angeles Times has been accused of deliberately suppressing a video it says it obtained of Sen. Barack Obama attending an anti-Israel event in which he delivered a glowing testimonial for an anti-Israel professor who excuses terrorism.
Andrew C. McCarthy, chairman of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies’ Center for Law & Counterterrorism, claimed in a piece today in National Review Online the Times would have jumped at the chance of making such images public if Sen. John McCain had been involved.
“Let’s try a thought experiment,” begins McCarthy. “Say John McCain attended a party at which known racists and terror mongers were in attendance. Say testimonials were given, including a glowing one by McCain for the benefit of the guest of honor … who happened to be a top apologist for terrorists. Say McCain not only gave a speech but stood by, in tacit approval and solidarity, while other racists and terror mongers gave speeches that reeked of hatred for an American ally and rationalizations of terror attacks.
“Now let’s say the Los Angeles Times obtained a videotape of the party.
“Question: Is there any chance ? any chance ? the Times would not release the tape and publish front-page story after story about the gory details, with the usual accompanying chorus of sanctimony from the oped commentariat? Is there any chance, if the Times was the least bit reluctant about publishing (remember, we’re pretending here), that the rest of the mainstream media (y’know, the guys who drove Trent Lott out of his leadership position over a birthday-party toast) would not be screaming for the release of the tape?” McCarthy asked.
