I heard Carter on NPR the other day, and thought there he was making a more nuanced point. Rather than the old anti-semetic screed about Jews controlling the media, I took him to be saying that there is very little in the media that portrays Palestinian viewpoint and experiences. There are some obvious reasons for that (that have nothing to do with the makeup of the media), but took Carter to be suggesting that average American has very little appreciation of the other side of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
Admittedly, I do not get the Outrage Channel, but I see very little in the media that is critical of Israel and pro-Palestinian.
Then again, I am probably either a terrorist or a communist (depending on the era of the person doing the labelling) for even thinking that there is more than one side to be seen.

I thought in the last war the media portrayal was pretty sympathetic towards Hezbolla. Israell seemed to catch a lot of flak. So even though it seems that there may be lot of Jews in the media, in my opinion, these same Jews, if they are influencing things, seem to have a bias against Israel.
