Celebs Speak Out Against Hamas and Hezbollah Terror; WORMs Ignore

Matt at Weapons of Mass Discussion mentioned the ad Thursday morning.

85 celebrities and entertainment-industry types, including Nicole Kidman, Michael Douglas, Bruce Willis, and of course many others, underwrote a full-page ad (pictured here; backup for future here) in The Los Angeles Times condemning terrorism, including Hamas and Hezbollah specifically. It ended by saying, “We need to support democratic societies and stop terrorism at all costs.”

Now here’s the follow-up from Matt Sheffield at NewsBusters — The WORMs (Worn-Out Reactionary Media, known to most as the formerly Mainstream Media), are giving it the “la-la-la” treatment:

Have you heard the news of the latest celebrity political pronouncement?

….. Didn’t hear about it? That’s no surprise. According to Nexis, not a single American news organization other than Fox News Channel has covered it.

I did LA Times searches on ten of the signers’ names, and found nothing relating to the ad. So unless the paper could somehow write a story on the ad without mentioning the names of those who signed, the list of publications ignoring the ad, at least as of when this post was written late Friday night, includes The Los Angeles Times itself.
