Over at Salon, Jordan Michael Smith compiles a lot of evidence to back up his headline that “The Media Consensus on Israel is collapsing.“

Exhibit A was a Tom Friedman column that included this paragraph:

“I sure hope that Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, understands that the standing ovation he got in Congress this year was not for his politics. That ovation was bought and paid for by the Israel lobby. The real test is what would happen if Bibi tried to speak at, let’s say, the University of Wisconsin. My guess is that many students would boycott him and many Jewish students would stay away, not because they are hostile but because they are confused.”
