The remarks here indicate that people either haven’t read the Jewish Press in a long time or just have an agenda. I keep an eye on ethnic/religious periodicals for a major public relations company, so I’m quite familiar with the Jewish Press in terms of the paper’s content and its inner workings. The paper’s endorsements of Clinton were an exception to the rule; they regularly endorse Republicans for president. And they have plenty of right-wing/yeshivish columnists. By the way, they have never had Krauthammer as a regular columnist, though they did run an interview with him a couple months ago. So again, a false comment. As to the charge that most of the content is paid, meaning that people pay to put it in the paper, that also is totally false. If you make a charge like that, you should back it up with specifics. Since most of the paper’s content is comprised of news stories from Israel from wire services like JTA and INN and the Jewish Press’s own website in Israel, as well as columns by various academics and rabbis, the notion that most of that content is paid is absurd as well as a lie. Finally, the story about the bathroom has been circulating since the 1970s, attributed to various rabbis. Its veracity has never been proved; the comment above that someone from the Klass family supposedly verified it is not accurate — as avhaben writes, the family member merely confirmed that he heard it in school. That’s not the same thing as verifying the truth of the comment.
