In a column posted last Friday, my college pal Richard Behar, at Forbes, calls out the New York Times, CNN, and other top media for ignoring reports of Egyptian President Morsi’s 2010 rants against Jews and Zionists. The Jerusalem Post first reported on Jan. 4 that a recently translated video finds Morsi calling Jews “the descendants of apes and pigs” and warning that Jews “have been fanning the flames of civil strife wherever they were throughout history. They are hostile by nature.”

Most would agree that, even in the internet age, the Times is still the leading agenda-setter for major media.  It is, after all, the best paper around,  a true wonder-of-the-world.  But it does seem to avoid covering Islamist incitement against Jews (and Christians) like the plagues.   

The Times broke the silence today with this story, which ledes thus:

 Nearly three years ago, a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood delivered a speech urging Egyptians to “nurse our children and our grandchildren on hatred” for Jews and Zionists. In a television interview around that time, the same leader described Zionists as “these bloodsuckers who attack the Palestinians, these warmongers, the descendants of apes and pigs.”
