An Email to the Jewish Tribal Review
Someone who "Googled" my name told me to do the same, and sure enough there is a link to your site and this: [Jews are 2.5% of the American population. Many of the 60 Minutes staff below are probably Jewish. The ones bold-typed are definitely Jewish or have common Jewish surnames. Others like Scheffler, Howard, Gordon, Gavshon, Hartman, Messick, Kramer, et al are likely bets. Then there is Esther and Ruth.] WHO WE ARE.

Posted March 2, 2004 Dear Mr. Messick. Sorry to shock you with our investigative journalism. Yes, it's an uncomfortable story at our web site, isn't it? And since so many Jews influence the American mass media, including your own employer (60 Minutes), we're sorry to assume that you might be Jewish. Silly us. Only your stepfather was Jewish. It was obviously a terrible mistake to presume the possibilities of anything about you. Please accept our apologies. In any case, thank you very much for your help in trying to determine Jewish influence at CBS's 60 Minutes. The fact that your stepfather was Jewish is of some help to us. Since we don't have the staff and money that you do to accomplish our web site expose, maybe you could donate some staff members to run around your office and find out some information for us. In the spirit of providing the truth for the American masses, right? The same as 60 Minutes. Or would you censor what we do? True to 60 Minutes' fine journalistic expose tradition, we are trying to find out the gravity of Judeocentric influence thorughout the American mass media. I'm sure you realize this as a very newsworthy issue, and no doubt you have discussed this subject on occasion with your Jewish stepfather. Since you seem to have time for this kind of thing, we're wondering if you have a moment to fill out a questionnaire for us: 1) What percentage of the upper elite (starting from, say, producers like yourself) at 60 Minutes is Jewish? (Could you provide us a list of ethnicities of who works in the upper eschelons at 60 minutes?) Aside from everyone else on the above list, we have a hunch that the top five people at 60 Minutes (Hewitt, Scheffler, Howard, Kartiganer, Lieberthal) are all Jewish. Can you tell me if this hunch is accurate? We know Hewitt and Lieberthal are dunks. Esther Kartiganer is a jump shot. Scheffler and Josh Howard may be free throws. 2) If not Jewish, what percentage of the 60 Minutes upper elite (in the WHO WE ARE LIST above) is married to a Jew? (I heard somewhere, for example, that Amanpour is married to a Jew. True?) 3) If not Jewish, what percentage of the 60 Minutes upper elite has any other sort of familial link to a Jew? 4) Do you have an Arabs working in the upper tier at 60 Minutes (other than someone who, say, brings you pizza)? Any Palestinians? Pardon my "bigotry," but, judging by names (yes, I know, that's a crime on my part), there doesn't appear to be any. Why? 5) Do you invest in Israeli Bonds? Do you attend yearly Holocaust commemoration services? We understand that "Contributing Correspondent" Bob Simon, listed in the 60 Minutes elite, has a house in Israel. Could you arrange an email interview with him for us? 6) Do you think there are any disproportionate influences in the American mass media (vis-a-vis the supposed principles that we all live in a "democracy" and should get a full range of information about "news" of the day)? 7) Why is someone who is interested in this sort of thing declared by you to be a "bigot" and a "Nazi?" Is this attitude expressed subliminally in your news reporting? Or overtly? Is it endemic to your newsroom, generally? 8) Is there such a thing as truly "objective" news? If yes, please explain. (Use examples from your own work). 9) What is your opinion about the Jewish dominance at 60 minutes? What do you think it represents in this Judeocentric 60 Minutes smear story about Ukrainians? 10) Why are so many people who run 60 Minutes Jewish? Are Jews just smarter, Mr. Messick? Harder workers? Or is it coincidence there are so many of them, not just at 60 Minutes but throughout the central pillars of mass media? And may we fairly presume that there are a sizeable number of non-Jews (like yourself) working in your office who have Jewish stepfathers, stepmothers, Jewish spouses, etc. ? 11) Do you know what the word "nepotism" means? How would you define it? How about ethnic networking? Any thoughts? 12) What do you think about apartheid Israel? Have any of the programs you produced addressed endemic racism in the Jewish state and the moral integrity of the Palestinian cause? 13) Based upon your own experience and those around you at 60 Minutes, how does one get a job like yours? Are you hiring? Can I produce a 60 Minutes program one time? True, I do not mirror your world view (where did you get it?), but -- if I can meticulously document why I think the way I do -- will you hold that against me? 14) How about a CBS examination of "blatent anti-Semitism," focusing on this web site and telling your audience to check it out to see for themselves "bigotry's" actual content? Not interested? Well, then how about a link to the Jewish Tribal Review from the 60 Minutes web site so people may judge the ugly face of irrational "anti-Semitism" for themselves, and not though your dictatorial media filtration system. Painless, no? I'm sure you'll have all the right answers to these questions. In any case, thank you for your tireless interest in bringing the truth to your millions of viewers and going out of your way to condemn bigoted, totalitarian "Nazism." We eagerly await your learned reply. Jewish Tribal Review Contributor's comment: Thought you might be interested in learning Amanpour, who is listed
in WHO WE ARE. Program Facts, is a devoted Zionist:
