I have often railed against the mind-numbing bias of most media organizations (be they print or audio/video) against Israel. This bias is so prevalent that the truth can rarely, if ever, be discerned. Certainly, there are some organizations that are worse than others, with the biggest offenders being the BBC, Canada's CBC, CNN, the New York Times, Reuters, Agence France Presse and AP.
Freda Ghitis has an interesting Op-Ed in the Miami Herald analyzing how the bias shown in media reports can paint a very distorted picture of a country: http://www.miamiherald.com/851/story/261021.html. I urge everyone to read it all.
UPDATE (9:17 a.m.): More on the same subject here: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3455441,00.html#n. If anyone can find the actual Gerstenfeld article on The Netherlands, I'd love to see it.
