1. I dont see it that way at all. YWN is reporting the news as it comes from other sources. They report and you decide. If you want to believe everything hook, line, and sinker, you should watch CNN or something like that.
I dont see any “chareidi” – I refer to them as Shomrai Torah U’Mitzvos – bashing here at all. As is the case with all blogs, if you dont like what a poster says, please disagree. When do so, please make a solid argument, not that you will change the commenter’s opinion but you may sway someone else to your thought process.
