ajor media ownership resides in a host of hands Dear Editor: Brian Renk, another fellow will ing to endorse Doug Collins’ para- noid and Judeo-phobie views, has come forward 40 point his fager ct Jewish ownership and influence in the media and entertainment indus- tries. In his letter (April 10 North Shore News), Renk also expresses his support for Collins’ claim that Schindler's list is propaganda. Like Collins, Renk is obviously both overly suspicious and obsessed about the Jews and their success, According to Renk, the Jews own the New York Times and the Washington Post as well as “the television network and publishing houses,” Since Renk claims that Jewish ownership is “pervasive” in “the television networks, and publishing houses,” he would fike the reader to believe that the Jews own most af the “major American media out- lets.” If Renk’s theory is correct, then the Jews must own the “major American media oullets™ such as ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN, as well as the majority of newspapers (an amazing accomplishment by a group that makes up barely 2% of North America’s population, don't you think?), Doug Collins would probably agree with Renk’s frive- lous and Judeo-phobie claims, However, ost well-informed peo: ple would beg to differ. The following is a sample of the current ownership of major North American media that | have been able ta research: * 20th Century Fox — owned by Rupert Murdoch, who would be surprised to learn he is Jewish, «CNN — owned by Ted Turner, probably now as shocked as Rupert Murdoch is, NBC — owned by General Electric, a U.S. public corporation. * Most Canadian Newspapers — owned by either Southam (a noted Christian famity) oc by Conrad Black (Who must have converted to Judaism to satisfy Renk’s conspira- torial assertions), * ABC and CBS — traded publicly in various forms. * CBC — a Canadian Crown cor- poration. [ hope this leaves room for other religious and ethnic groups. Of course, there are some Jews in media and entertainment. However, some dogs not mean all, and only people with malicious intent or with extreme ignorance would promote such views. People like Collins and Renk, NVD house battle boils down to different views Dear Editor: During the monster house debate at CariSbrooke school on April 12, a realtor included the Charter of Rights. There were chuckles at the hyperbole. But what do realtors write about their daily work? In the North Shere News real estate display pull-out advertising homes | counted 378 ads. Of these, 155 mention ‘‘views,” “views views,” “panoramic views,” “mountain views,” “ocean views,” and “views forever.” The last one got it exactly right, in keeping with the tenor of the meeting. The ratio of views/ads is 41 % a ‘significant amount. And we must be grateful to the reallor who gave us the watchword “views forever.”. Council please take note.

For some ically great conspira- torial anti-Semitic views (in which Renk’s belief about “pervasive’ Jewish “ownership” and influence over media and entertainment is taken/a step further to include Jewish plans ta dominate the whole world) Renk might want to leaf through the famous Czarist forgery entitted The Protocols of The Elders of Zion.
