the Jerusalem Post Watch
The newest block posts start under this pinned one.
I Don’t know if you missed it but the JPost went from a respectable daily to a publication of low quality with a couple of excellent authors still. They publish outright nonsense without restraint or shame.
The JPost is aggressively for the center, trashing anything that’s not. It’s the only Israeli outlet with good Gay news reporting. It also clearly made a solid commitment against racism in its reporting. It has good science and legal reporters. On Judaism, they seek conflict and strife and know zero. Their ‘celebrated’ Arab Affairs correspondent makes things up as he goes.
I freely comment on their site. All of my comments you may find here, with links to the original nonsense. The newest comments are on top.
The JPost refuses to give a link to my comments. Here’s what you can do to read my comments in the JPost in the last 30 days: Go to the Jerusalem Post site. Find a comment by MMvanZuiden. Click on the letter M before the comments field.
Overview Internet News in English on Israel
The Algemeiner is a bit right-wing leaning but excellent and honest. Arutz7 is well-informed on West-Bank issues but often has a right-wing bias. The Jewish Press may at times have all the right-wing trash but also excellent stuff on science and Orthodox Judaism. World Israel News often just spews right-wing propaganda and conspiracy theories. Israel Hayom I don’t know really. Ynet in English is quick but superficial will bad English.
The Times of Israel is a bit left-leaning but excellent and honest. Haaretz doesn’t have just a left-wing bias. It outright creates scandals instead of just reporting them, suitable ammunition for anti-Semites or anti-Zionists. Their science reports are good. It is well-trusted all over the world while it’s worse than the Pravda was in Stalin’s Russia: completely unreliable.
Every international press agency is absolutely unreliable in its reporting on Israel, always biased against it, at times, blatantly so and sometimes, more subtly. Often, the local journalist is OK, but editors will ‘adjust’ his voice.
Please use your critical sense about anything you read anywhere.
