content: People are reading my daily quotes (day 3) "Television presents images of Jewish issues that conform to the views of mainstream Jewish organizations. Television "invariable depicts anti-Semitism as an ugly, abhorrent trait that must be fought at every turn" (Pearl & Pearl 1999, p. 103).  It is seen as metaphysical and beyond analysis.  There is never any rational explanation for anti-Semitism, anti-Semitism is portrayed as an absolute, irrational evil.  Positive, well-liked, non-Jewish characters, such as Mary Tyler Moore, often lead the fight against anti-Semitism-- a pattern reminiscent of that noted in CofC in which non-Jews become high-profile spokespersons for Jewish dominated movements.  There is also the implication that anti-Semitism is a proper concern of the entire community." -- MacDonald 2002, Culture of Critique page lviii (bold not in text)
