are posting however is pure rubbish, my friend. Why not post a few Times articles about how "Soleimani had "murdered millions"" - you know, for insight into how Murdoch thinks or wants you to think? Why not? Because we are mostly here beyond that, I think. I and many (most?) others here value insight and good reportage. Whether found in the mainstream or outside is immaterial. Chomsky? Also recommends still the NY Times and the FT as good papers of record. Just nonsense, if it were ever true. Chomsky states the USA is the most democratic country in the world. Ditto. Supported, with you I believe, the attempted overthrow of the Syrian state and society. Written lots of great stuff, but appeal to this authority especially rings very hollow these days. I do not "dictate" (sic) what others can read. I dissected in your "fact check" posting, point by point, the writer's responses to his "fact check" of Trump's words, arguing that this fact check obscured more than it revealed. Then suggested a pattern in your postings (except the last, Scott Ritter one) of dishonest writing. I am not "frightened" of reading your Haaretz articles, as if they're pushing the envelope and expanding thought beyond my comfort zone. I find them very boring, but my irritation that you should post such as I see it rubbish here, stimulated me to read them.
