As I understand it, Newsweek is considered unfriendly media for many valid reasons.

Not just that, ignorant, opinionated and disapproving of countervailing views, pushing their own propaganda. Are the Ukies still 'winning' with their next batch of 'Wunderwaffe'?

"No question related to Palestine despite the date. Since Newsweek’s a Deep State propaganda organ, it asked questions that are of the highest importance to that regime. "

Your statement relates to the ongoing controversy between Gilbert Doctorow and John Mearsheimer (along with Larry Johnson) about who controls who: the Zionists, the neocons or the Deep State in general.

Someone at Doctorow's blog posted the idea that it was like MAD Magazine's "Spy vs. Spy" comic - everyone working together toward a goal while behind the scenes stabbing each other in the back. I like that metaphor.

I related it to the Situationists in the 1960s. They sought a coherent philosophy and practice but ended up falling apart due to factional conflicts over minute abstract concepts and approaches.

In my view, the Deep State (I refuse to use Ray McGovern's long-winded acronym) is a fractious mess. But there is no doubt that they all pursue the same ultimate goals: money, power, hegemony (either in whole or in part.) Who's in charge of what particular event at what point in time is about as interesting as how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
