Now listen up folks. You get to write about movies and artisanal cheese and American politics, but keep your hands off foreign policy coverage and Israel. Got that?
(Former Jerusalem correspondent Ethan Bronner, who I believe is a liberal Zionist, writes about the Supreme Court’s landmark decision today and makes the wise comparison of John Roberts to David Souter.)
“…keep your hands off foreign policy coverage and Israel. Got that?”
A guy’s gotta eat..
Phil, my apologies for possibly being thick, but what’s your point? I don’t really get what you’re trying to say here.
Glad to see Ethan Bronner covering an issue where his Zionist bias does not distort his reporting. If only the Times assigned unbiased reports to Israel/Palestine we’d be getting somewhere. Jodi Rudoren doesn’t qualify as unbiased; her cultural background means there’s a built-in bias. Why doesn’t the Times send atheist Korean reporters with no cultural, religious, or ethnic ties to cover Israel/Palestine?
the future of zionism is as an entry in a compendium of discarded ideologies.
Okay, I think I get it now: “you” being Ethan Bronner. Spiking the football a bit are we, Phil?
Obamacare is a gift to corporate america. It comes as no surprise that Roberts would support it. The notion that this decision marks some historic change in Roberts’ pro-corporate agenda is just plain silly.
