I am very surprised that you would say that here. If I am coming to this particular “trusted” website then I am also trusting the editor to check out the information before he posts a story. As far as the NY Times is concerned. Although I don’t approve of the anti-Semitic positions they take, I do believe they are not a “rag” paper and they do check out their stories and sources.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions as we have seen here in the CR, and as we all have learned people will choose to believe what they choose to believe whether it is true or not. People will also choose to ignore the truth no matter how much proof is given and how many people confirm the story. That is human nature, there is nothing we can do about it. We can only work on ourselves, our own middos, and our own way of thinking and improving.
Let’s just take the President for example. No matter how much or how many of us said “he just doesn’t have the experience necessary to run this country”. Jews refused to listen and believe the truth; he had so much Jewish support even though the other ticket were firm and documented supporters of Israel. When he first became president it was obvious to those who did NOT support him that he favored the Palestinians and he was bad news for Americans when he apologized to the Arabs for “former administrations’ treatment” of the Palestinian people. When he made his first trip to the Middle East by visiting Egypt. Israel is the US best Ally, but he went to Egypt. But that didn’t change people’s minds. It took his announcement to go back to the 1967 borders and the Palestinians asking the UN to be recognized for people to change their opinions of the President.
