Not alone in media bias charges
I'm in London (with Yusef Islam -- Cat Stevens) doing comedy at the Global Peace & Unity Conference at the Excel near the Canary Wharf in West India Quay. (Okay, the Brits love titles and lots of names in titles).
One of the stories being distributed is about how many believe the British Media is biased against Muslims (and anyone defined as Muslim such as Pakistanis and Indians in general, all Arabs, etc). The survey was commissioned by London's Mayor Ken Livingston ... Wow. Government officials who care about how Muslims and Arabs are mistreated? So rare.
Here's the link to the story:

And, I'll be off to Jerusalem Tuesday to peform the Israeli-Palestinian "Post Annapolis Summit" Comedy Tour, but to also host a journalism Conference on Monday Dec. 3 at the Ambassador Hotel in Sheikh Jarrah, East Jerusalem.
Apparently, journalists and media in Israel and Palestine are not afraid to openly discuss these issues together, as they are in the United States.
