Israel and Europe: Is the media biased?, Chaim Herzog Institute conference

I could not resist posting the video of this conference which was attended by Andrés Ortega Klein, Columnist and Editorial Writer at the Spanish newspaper El País, after reading these articles by Eamonn McDonagh at Z-Word underlining El País' anti-Israeli biais:

Propaganda,
Divines,
Variations on the One State Solution,
José Manuel Sánchez Gordillo and Pseudo-Martyrdom,
Amnesia and El País,
and
Bigotry in Print. Crowds Chant Murder. Something's Changed, by Paul Berman in The Forward.

Nine months later, at El País and at most European newspapers, it's still anti-Israeli business as usual.

"Is The Media Biased? The coverage of Israel in Europe and of Europe in Israel"
