The "liberal media has nothing good to say about Israel" is a FOX news talking point. It was hilarious when Glenn Beck showed the video that the Israeli army released of their troops boarding the ships trying to break the blockade. Beck declared that none of the "liberal media" channels were showing the Israeli's version and the only place it could be seen was on FOX. Except for the fact that ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, etc. had already broadcasted the Israel video version of the events all day the previous day and on the same day just prior to Beck's silly accusations.
The Obama administration is pro-Israel, not much difference in their policy than previous administrations. He's somewhat changed the way the world views America by trying to work with the rest of the world, dialoguing and through respect. Quite the opposite of the bully Bush administration. If there's tension it's with Netanyahu and the current Israeli government. Because they are so far extreme and hard-line.
