“many people look to this website (YWN) for the torah view on news, Many arent even religious. It is well known”
That only emphasizes my point. I was actually going to bring up that point – thank you for doing so for me.
You wrote earlier that even if it’s Loshon Hora/Motzi Shem Ra/mevazeh Gedolim, since people are reading about this in anti-religious sources, they may as well read about here. One of the arguments I was going to make against that was that it’s worse when they read it here, since they assume this is the Torah perspective, and it can lead to an even bigger chilul Hashem and Sinas Chinam against the Frum world. At least when they read the other newspapers, they realize that is the opinion of anti-Frum people.
“if a person is going to get their news from R’L Haaretz and their Anti-frum slant, wouldnt you also want them to get their news from the frum point of view”
Now you are saying something else. Yes, if the articles were written from a Frum point of view, you might be correct (although one should ask a sheilah). This is exactly what I wrote above:
I’m still not certain that it would be allowed, and there are many conditions of toeles that must be fulfilled, but it would certainful be very, very, different if it were done in this way.
