AddReply(321955,"these publications have a tremendous impact on public opinion","reizel","","07/09/08","trashing (recycling) as many as possible is a good stopgap mesure, but it is important to come up with a more effective, long term plan. i have read some of the slanted \"news\" stories on  bbc and left wing sites. They sound very reasonable and well researched and are very persuasive. if i did not have a strong background, i would be totally convinced of the rightiousness of the \"palestinian\" cause. Israel and the Jewish people must do a better job of publicizing our history and current struggles. someone should put out a free commuter paper that is a good paper, and does not sound like propaganda, that presents the truth about what is going on in the middle east. we are ignoring the impact of propaganda in the papers and on the college campuses as though we are unaware of its impact or incapable of changing public opinion. other suggestions? are there advertisers we should protest to?");
AddReply(321677,"A suggestion for everyone!","Phillip Slepian","New Jersey, USA","07/08/08","Everyone can do their part:  Since only a set number of papers are distributed each day, anyone who wants to keep this Metro trash out of the hands of gullible readers should pick up as many copies as they can as they go to and from work.  Then place them in the nearest recycling bin.  I have done this for years with Jews for Jesus fliers.  I am staring today!  You can, too!");
AddReply(321527,"It\'s not just the \"news\" section","Nachum","New York","07/08/08","The editorials are just as bad if not worse than the \"news\" pieces (most of the details listed above are true of the New York edition as well). There are regular editorials written by anti-Israel British columnists (remember that Metro is international in scope) that come right out and blame Israel for all of the ills of the world.\n\nLeah, officially, advertising pays for it all, but that\'s an interesting question. (One of the biggest advertisers is a clothing chain owned by an  Israeli, as it happens.)");
AddReply(321386,"answer to #1 and question for author","Leah ","Maaleh Adumim","07/08/08","#1 asks:  \"Why is the West pro-arab while arabs are anti-Western?\" - the answer is simple, the west is not really \"pro arab\", they just hate Jews and this is a socially-acceptable and politically-correct way to express that anti-semitism. \n\nI have a question for the author:  if this newspaper is given away for free, who pays for the writing and printing?  is it possible that the arab propaganda machine, led by saudi arabia (and subsidized by us, every time we put gas in our cars) is paying for this hate-mongering?");
AddReply(321304,"Treason or Teasin’ ?","Rick Owen","San Diego","07/07/08","The west is incredibly ignorant of the cultural differences between societies caught in the setting of the 7th to 10th centuries and the rest of us in the 21st. What’s worse, not only do they NOT know, they don’t want to know.  The “Perception Management” strategy used by the propaganda machines that bought the editorial policy of newspapers like the Metro group has become standard policy. It all smacks of the usual wordplay dumbed down for the average American. Who in the Metro group determines the bias of its papers? Who owns the Metro Group? Are these newspapers a front for terrorist advertisements to extol the superior quality of THEIR kind of society while downgrading ours? If we’re at war, doesn’t this fall under the label of “treason”? World War II had a saying, “Loose lips sink ships.” This war should have its own. Let’s have a contest to find the best one.");
AddReply(321230,"What part of Metro\'s agenda is \"subtle?\"","JP Sutton","NYC","07/07/08","I don\'t call smacking people over the head \"subtle,\" and that\'s essentially what these scurrilous publications are doing. Well, leave it to the Swedes, with some of the highest taxes in the world, one of the most socialist governments in the world, and an economy that is rapidly deteriorating in direct proportion to the increase of their moslem immigrant. Everyone knows how moslems love those blonde Swedish women -- many of whom end up beaten, raped, and murdered by moslem immigrants. Not to mention that there are parts of Stockholm and other cities that have become (as in England) no-entry zones for non-moslems. Looks like Metro is just following the self-dhimmification example of other countries and media (can anyone say \"New York Times\" or \"Ha\'aretz?\"). Trash indeed -- Euro and otherwise.");
