Will news on the internet come only (or mostly) from the Left?
Here's an interesting comment by Ben Smith regarding the AOL-Huffington Post merger. While this isn't directly about Israel, it certainly affects us because the Right's coverage of Israel is far more favorable than the Left's.
The truth is the AOL-HuffPost deal signals the death knell of the MSM's traditional "gatekeeper" role. That's been evident for time as the big dailies and the big networks continue to decline. The HuffPost is known as an opinion journal. AOL's buy-out of it won't fool any one.
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
