Last week I was congratulating Fox Cable News Network
for daring to talk about Israeli spying.
It is clear that this phenomenon is no secret,
since Israel is presently trying to get Jonathan
Pollard released from a life sentence for spying
against America for them. But Fox showed great courage
in talking about it.
In a sane world, these two statements would seem
odd.
Countries usually deny espionage or at least they
apologize for it. But Israel openly demands that
its American-born spy be released.
While everybody knows that Israeli spying takes
place on a huge scale, we also know that no critic
of Israel is allowed to talk about it. Israel and
Dershowitz demand that their spy be released, but
you and I are not allowed to even mention the whole
subject.
We all know you can lose your job for mentioning
Israeli spying. Anyone who talks about it is --
guess what? -- anaziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
So I was astonished when Fox actually quoted an
internal Federal memo which stated the rule that
if you discussed Israeli spying you would lose your
job.
I'm glad I mentioned it last week, because I now
hear that Fox has snatched this story off the network
and fired Carl Cameron who reported it. I wrote
Fox to ask about this, but of course I got no reply.
Someone sent me a Fox URL on the story:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,40684,00.html
It says:

"This story no longer exists."
Here is a screen shot taken Thursday:
I doubt that URL will still be there when you read
this.
As I say, I cannot confirm this because Fox, which
exposes others, will not respond to me.
The whole thing is straight out of "1984", isn't
it?
Editor's note: I also attempted to check
this story out with Fox News. They aren't talking
to me, either. I also wrote to Carl Cameron's foxnews.com
email address - no response, which could mean he
isn't commenting or is no longer employed there.
