While the US elections have pushed Israel off the MSM's radar, Michael Oren and other Mideast pundits miss the spotlight:
For those of us involved professionally in interpreting Israel for the media, who in the past were frequent contributors to the op-ed pages in the United States and regular guests on CNN and Fox, the falloff of coverage has been neither good nor bad, but rather disorienting.
Though we, too, sometimes complained about the disproportionate scrutiny to which Israel was subjected by the press in this country, we nevertheless basked in the certainty that Israel would always top the news and that our views would be aired and listened to. Now, entire weeks pass without a single press inquiry or an invitation to an interview.
Of course, not all talking heads are missed.
