I remember when news was news, not propaganda and then they advertorial.
NBC is Comcast!

I find Gatestone to be refreshingly centrist. It encourages dialogue between the center-left, represented by people such as Senator Joe Lieberman and myself, and people from the center- right represented by speakers such as John Bolton and the eminent historian Victor Davis Hanson
They're also centrist in their coverage of terrorism. They report attacks on Jews, but they post a great deal on the slaughter of Christians. I've posted many of those articles here thru them and Frontpagemagazine. And the slaughter of Hindus, abuse of women. And the like. And also peaceful Muslims. Centrist. https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/
Dershowitz has definitely turned some kind of corner.
I'm too young to remember the McCarthy era but I doubt his claim that "all decent people" were more upset by rhetoric which might have intimidated fellow travelers of that era than they were with what they knew of the horrors of Communism. During the same period we were fighting the Korean War. Stalin, Mao, and Kim Il Sung were our enemies.
First, they came for the Conservatives, and I did not speak out Because I was not a Conservative.
Then they came for the Libertarians, and I did not speak out Because I was not a Libertarian.
Then they came for the Christians, and I did not speak out Because I was not a Christian.
Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak for me.
I often disagree with Alan Dershowitz on matters of politics, but I respect him as an honorable man who loves freedom, respects the law, and reveres the truth. Dershowitz listens intently and speaks reasonably, and makes conversations interesting and informative. Excellent column.
Regarding muslim no-go zones: “a non-Jew apparently trying to discredit such rumors by wearing a kippah, was attacked on a Berlin street”
He would stand a better chance of survival by putting his head into the open mouth of a lion to show he’s just a harmless kitty cat.
“Mainstream” journalists are no longer journalists.
They are propagandists.
So if I want to call someone a Commie Symp, I cant? Why the double standard, Alan?
Alan Dershowitz is a moral liberal and a believer in Constitutional law as written. Oddly he is on our side because he believes in The Constitution as written. I do not like his liberal beliefs but at the same time he is a strong defender of original interpretation of The Constitution. He is a good man.
