PBA, your criticism is both inappropriate and incorrect. Supporters of charedim have no right to determine the validity of other people’s concern. But even if they did, it’s simply wrong to assume that the concern comes from some sort of unjustified dislike of charedim.

Nor is this “vilif[ication] of an entire community base [sic] on the misdeeds of a few.” The frum media universally misrepresents what the current government is asking for. The frum media is not “a few”, they are seen to speak for charedi leadership. There is also the often raised but never refuted argument that rabbonim are perfectly capable of standing up for things that bother them, and in fact do so all the time when people do things like ride bikes, get phones with text messaging, and open competing batei din. That no mainstream frum rav has seen fit to address any of the above infractions says something about where their concerns lie.
