	Media Monitor Articles By Jason Maoz, Senior Editor (463 Articles) Next 20 Articles > 1) The Medved Alternative Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted Aug 24 2011 If you're a conservative who's tired of the increasingly cartoonish yawping coming from the Limbaughs and Hannitys and Savages of talk radio, you might want to check out Michael Medved's nationally syndicated program (heard in the New York area on WNYM 970 from 3-5 p.m. weekdays and 3-6 a.m. Sundays). Read Article 2) More On That Old Democratic Treadmill Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted Aug 10 2011 The last couple of columns, both of which focused on Jewish voting habits in presidential elections, inspired some spirited responses from readers. Read Article 3) Jews And The Democratic Treadmill Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted Jul 27 2011 Two weeks ago, in a column on Jewish voting patterns, the Monitor pointed to the 1984 electionas evidence "that a Republican presidential candidate, whether incumbent or challenger and no matter how strong his record on Israel, will always lose among Jewish voters when the alternative is a liberal Democrat without any pronounced or well-known hostility to Israel." Read Article 4) Bergson Group Activists Recognized At Yad Vashem-Wyman Conference Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted Jul 27 2011 The "Bergson Boys" have finally come home. With an international conference at Yad Vashem, a reinterment ceremony in Israel, and the publication of a new book, the controversial Holocaust rescue activists last week took a major step forward in gaining the public recognition they were long denied. Read Article 5) Obama, Jews And 2012 Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted Jul 13 2011 A Gallup poll released last week showed Barack Obama maintaining a strong level of Jewish support. The poll sparked yet another round of newspaper stories and web articles on whether the Republicans have any hope of even a respectable showing among Jews in the 2012 presidential election. Read Article 6) Israel's Demented Leftist Icon Raves On Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted Jun 29 2011 In the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks on America, Uri Avnery, the ancient icon of the Israeli Left, a bitter old fool who serves as living refutation of the belief that wisdom is an inevitable byproduct of old age, placed the blame squarely on the U.S. and its support of Israel. Read Article 7) Revising The Six-Day War Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted Jun 15 2011 Every few years at around this time the Monitor reflects on how perceptions have changed so drastically regarding Israel's massive victory in the 1967 Six-Day War. Read Article 8) The Ignorant American Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted Jun 07 2011 Two days after the 9/11 attacks, CNN and Time magazine released a joint poll asking whether the U.S. should declare war. Sixty-two percent of respondents said yes. Asked whom war should be declared against, 61 percent said they didn't know. Read Article 9) Fire From The Skies Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted Jun 01 2011 Thirty years ago next week - shortly after 5:30 p.m. on June 7, 1981 - Israeli fighter jets flew undetected through hundreds of miles of Arab air space and rained fire from the skies over Baghdad, laying waste an atomic reactor and depriving a brutish dictator the potential for mass destruction. Read Article 10) Remembering Babe Ruth's Concern For Jews During The Holocaust Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted Jun 01 2011 The New York Yankees and their fans observe April 27 as Babe Ruth Day to remember the home run slugger's exploits on the baseball diamond. Jewish New Yorkers, however, this year marked the day by remembering another side of Ruth - his little-known efforts to aid African-Americans and other minorities, including Jews in Europe during the Holocaust. Read Article 11) Kushner No Mere 'Critic' Of Israel Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted May 18 2011 From the reaction of many on the liberal/left to the controversy over CUNY's granting an honorary degree to playwright Tony Kushner, one sees yet again just how unremarkable and acceptible the most virulent views of Israel have become, even - perhaps especially - among Jews. Read Article 12) Remember 2002? (Part II) Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted May 04 2011 Last week we noted that with the recent brouhaha over Judge Richard Goldstone's backtracking on the most sensational charge leveled against Israel in his 2009 report to the UN, "much has been made of the damage done by that document to Israel's standing in the court of international opinion." Read Article 13) Remember 2002? Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted Apr 28 2011 With Judge Richard Goldstone's recent sort-of recantation of the most incendiary charge leveled against Israel in the 2009 report to the United Nations that will forever bear his name, much has been made of the damage done by that document to Israel's standing in the court of international public opinion. Read Article 14) The Man Who Remade The NY Times Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted Apr 13 2011 Though he had more than his share of detractors during and after his years as managing and then executive editor of The New York Times, can there be any doubt that the paper began its precipitous and still ongoing decline the moment A.M. Rosenthal was forced, by company policy, to retire in 1986 at age 65? Read Article 15) Pro-Israel But Not Presidential Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted Mar 30 2011 Sarah Palin sure makes it hard for those who care about Israel to dismiss her out of hand. On her brief visit to Israel last week she said the kinds of things one expects to hear from passionate Israel activists at meetings and rallies, not from politicians - even those with stellar pro-Israel credentials - concerned with appearing wise and judicious and nuanced and even-handed. Read Article 16) Web Picks Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted Mar 23 2011 The last time the Monitor listed some worthwhile websites and blogs it was back in the fall of 2009. So consider this listing a "Best of 2010/2011." Read Article 17) Palin In Israel: 'Why Do You Keep Apologizing All The Time?' Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted Mar 23 2011 Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor, 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee and possible 2012 presidential candidate, visited Israel earlier this week. Read Article 18) President Palin? Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted Mar 09 2011 Last week's column, on the declining popularity of several of talk radio's most prominent conservative hosts, seems to have ruffled more than few feathers. Even some readers who in the past have agreed with the Monitor virtually down the line took issue this time - but, interestingly enough, not on the subject of talk radio hosts. Read Article 19) Twilight Of The Radio Gods? Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted Mar 02 2011 The interview with John Batchelor on the front page of this week's Jewish Press should clarify, for anyone who still doesn't get it, why Batchelor's show is thriving while many of talk radio's erstwhile Big Names suffer declining ratings. Read Article 20) More On Liberal Rage Jason Maoz, Senior Editor \| Posted Feb 16 2011 Our column week before last, "No Hate Like Liberal Hate," drew a number of interesting responses from readers, many of whom submitted their own favorite morsels of liberal hate speech. A few noted that for many years Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby devoted a column every December to the year's most egregious examples of liberal hate. Read Article
