“Far far better to be uninformed of the ”news”, than to chas v’shalom encounter even ONE instance of the terrible pritzus rampant in the newspapers. “
Helpful, no one forces you to read about pritzus. Presumably, you are a frum person who is intelligent enough to recognize a headline that seems inappropriate. So go on to the next page. I don’t read everything in every paper. I am not interested in the Hollywood actresses who might as well be zonas. But I AM interested in knowing which of my politicians are untrustworthy because they cannot even be faithful to their spouses, and which push agendas of toeiva, and which are dedicated to supporting E”Y, and so forth. Most of that does not appear in Jewish papers, for obvious reasons.
When a rabbi is accused of molesting a child, until recent years you would not see such stuff printed in a Jewish paper, either. And unfortunately, R”L this is something we need to know about. We need to know what goyim are saying about us, and hiding our heads in the sand (or Jewish-only papers), prevents us from knowing what they are really thinking. Not everyone is able to catch a hypocrite in the White House Press Corps, while shooting a Jewish video.
