Abstract
- Anti-Semitic beliefs that associated Jews, especially New York Jews, with the news media helped create the idea of a "liberal news media." Anti-Semites around the world have linked Jews with "control" of the news media since the nineteenth century. In the postwar United States, anti-Semitic critiques of the news media were closely linked with Cold War-era anticommunism, Christian conservatism, and reaction to the civil rights movement by white conservatives. Anti-Semites of the postwar period were usually fervent Christian anticommunists who believed that Jews secretly manipulated and masterminded the news in order to promote the civil rights movement, destroy the Christian United States, and pave the way for communist world government.
