An apology

Alana Goodman has written an article titled DCCC Apologizes to Adelson for “Untrue” Attacks.

Faced with a threat of a defamtion suit, the DCCC backed off. How about extending defamation suits to those who make their accusations in the guise of questions? Why should journalists be able to get away with a headline such as Did John Doe assassinate President Kennedy?

If a journalist is so convinced that he is writing the truth, he should be brave enough to write "John Doe assassinated President Kennedy." Otherwise, the article should not be printed.

Here are two Torah thoughts on Parshat Vaetchanan. The first is by Rabbi Frand. Click here to read. After reading this article by Rabbi Mansour, I was inspired to perform a mitzva immediately. I went to visit an old age home and put a smile on an octogenarian's face.
