NYT: Ethan Bronner gets kicked upstairs.

The new NYT Jerusalem chief is even worse. Much MUCH worse.

Judi "Rudoren" former NYT education editor.

She's already sent love notes to Mondoweiss and Electronic Intifada

She's not sure whether Israel is an evil apartheid state or not.

From news article:

Both the Beacon and Politico interviews are worth reading in entirety to get a sense of Rudoren’s mindset going into this position. She’s also a great example of the increasingly archaic journalistic value of placing objectivity above all else, including obvious and undeniable facts.

Are you a Zionist? Do you believe the Jews have a right to self-governance? Do you believe the Jewish state has a right to exist? This is an issue that I would think someone would come to a conclusion about by the time they’re Rudoren’s age. Do you believe Israel is an apartheid state? Again, an issue you would expect her to have some position on.

If Rudoren didn’t want to answer these questions because she felt her response might interfere with her ability to practice journalism, she could have said that. Claiming to have no opinion is just not believable.

Speaking of Judi. As noted before one of her first official activities was to tweet with Phil Weiss of Mondoweiss.

Today Mondoweiss is reprinting insane paranoid conspiracies that the Jews are digging tunnels under al Aqsa with secret chemicals. Lest we forget that until last year, Mondoweiss was financially supported by the leftist magazing, "The Nation". Birds of a feather, Judi.
