Opinion in Brief
Dennis Prager: “Last week, I tweeted, ‘The news media in the West pose a far greater danger to Western civilization than Russia does.’ To my surprise, the tweet went viral. And while there were more likes than dislikes, 99 percent of the written reactions were negative. … It wasn’t the ad hominem insults that I found troubling. What was troubling was the low state of logical thinking that so many responses reflected. … Is it Putin who is removing American flags from American campuses? Is Putin destroying the notion of male and female? Has Putin convinced half of America’s Millennials that socialism is preferable to capitalism? Did Putin convince Pope Francis that Islamic terrorists are no more of a threat to Europe than baptized Catholics who kill their girlfriends? Is Putin the reason Oxford University students voted that Israel is a greater threat to peace than Hamas? Putin is indeed a murderous quasi dictator. But all this contempt for Western civilization comes from the Western media and the Western universities. The smoking gun was provided just two weeks ago in the media’s reactions to President Trump’s speech in Warsaw, Poland, in which he called for protecting Western civilization. Virtually the entire Western media said it was a call to protect white racism — because the media deem Western civilization to be nothing more than a euphemism for white supremacy. That’s what my tweet was about.”
