a perennial favorite among press-loathers.

Indeed, the other words (effete, etc.) are usually substitutes for "Jewish".

When the whiner says "the liberal press" just put the word "Jewish" in place of "liberal" and you get the real intent.

(Or Zionist. Zionist is a nice substitute for Jewish. It means you hate Israel but like Jews. Imagine.)

What in gods name are you talking about? Most of the liberal media are the ones that hate Israel. Whether they are Jewish or not is of no consequence and no concern. I loath the liberal bias in the media (and on college campuses where I work), but I love Israel. I think most of us media haters love Israel and Jewish people (along with all other people that aren’t filthy Marxist reporters).
