News media covers up fact that Nick Berg was Jewish

Nick Berg, the American who was beheaded by Iraqis linked to Al-Qaida, was Jewish, but you would never know that from the news stories released by the major media publications. Only the JTA has written anything about it (see JTA News: Videotaped execution of U.S. Jew may not shake commitment in Iraq).

Is this a fact worth noting? Absolutely. If the Klu Klux Klan murdered someone, and the victim was black, you can be sure the media would point this out.

Here we have Islamic terrorists, who are known to hate Jews above all others, killing a Jewish American, and this fact is not noted.

Amongst left wing folk, killing people because of their ethnic background is the most evil of all possible offenses. Although I suspsect that the average American doesn't care about Nick's ethnicity, they just care that he's an American who was killed in horrible manner by our enemies, the left wing probably sees it differently.

Add to this the fact that no pictures of the beheading, or of the Islamic terrorists holding his head up for the cameras, were shown by the American media. The same media that is eager to show pictures of alleged abuse at the Iraqi prison, to make our own soldiers look bad, avoids showing pictures and reporting facts that make the terrorists look bad.

Something smells unkosher.
