Eli Clifton reports at Think Progress:
an announcement on the 92nd St. Y’s website shows that [New York Times Jerusalem bureau chief Ethan] Bronner is now scheduled to appear on a panel hosted by the Clarion Fund, an Islamophobic organization, to discuss the “threat of a nuclear Iran.”
The invitation, as it appears on the Clarion Fund’s website, reads:
On Monday, November 7, 2011, at 7:30 PM, the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan, NY will host a panel discussion about the threat of a nuclear Iran, interspersed with clips from the award-winning documentary Iranium. The panel will be moderated by the film’s director, Alex Traiman, and will be simultaneously broadcasted in over 20 communities throughout the U.S. (details below).
Panelists include:
John R. Bolton, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations
Ethan Bronner, Jerusalem Bureau Chief, The New York Times
Nazie Eftekhari, Director, Iran Democratic Union
Richard Green, Executive Director, Clarion Fund
Richard Perle, former Chairman of the Defense Policy Board, Bush administration
gag me with a spoon.
It’s only a matter of time before the NYT fire him…….Right? Right?
Bronner is racking up outrageous associations, biased affiliations and ideological ties faster than you can say, “Propaganda”. And it’s a long word, propaganda.
this rush to war upon iran makes clear how vital it is that the i/p conflict not be ignored by ows. what other movement is capable of heading off such a catastrophy? the tea party’s ron paul, who at one debate more or less said it wouldn’t bother him if people without health insurance got sick and died – “they made the choice.”
That hall-of-shame should be raided by the Hague Police and every warmongering scum bag on the panel arrested for… the list is too long, but let’s at least say ‘arrested for the mass murder of Iraqis and the LOOTING of ancient Iraqi treasures’ – you know, them treasures that the mosad stole from Baghdad while Saddam’s giant statue was being dragged down.
If this mass arrest is not possible, perhaps its a perfect platform for a code-pinkster or two to action out their usual genius and pointed political theater.
‘Nazie Eftekhari’ – oh the irony of names. I’ve met a few elderly Iranians in LA: deluded weirdos trying to re-establish the Shah’s progeny back in power. Even their kids (who are my friends) roll their eyes up at the ceiling when the topic is mentioned by their parents, which is daily and often. These Iranian elderly literally spend all day glued to Iranian-American TV, waiting for the announcement: The Shah’s Regime Is Back In Power. LOL! To think that zionist neocons are on this same page as them elderly Iranians living nice cozy lives in sunny California.
Politics sure makes for the strangest fetish-loving bedfellows.
Not that hophmi or jon or Witty would come to this article and roast Bronner about his journalistic integrity.
The right wing is so thoroughly fraudulent.
