Oh we both know the answer to that: the Jew-owned media! Only a non-Zionist, non-Hebrew-run can be trusted to report stuff that makes the Jewy Jewowitz Jews look bad!

P.S. I’m also impressed by your using that unparalleled journalistic repository of facts, a fansite for the fictional TV series _NCIS_. How on earth did they manage to escape any connection to Jews? Clearly CBS is the One True Non-Jewy Network. Praise be to CBS President & CEO [Leslie Moonves](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Moonves#Early_life)! ---

Since it is a practice of the ultra-orthodox I doubt any US president could make a difference. Why don’t you bring this topic up in it’s own thread?
