What do you ma...You say "Landau was a good editor". What do you make of his statement that the newspaper would not publish stories about Olmert's corruption investigations as long as he carried out the foreign policy that Landau approved of?<BR/><BR/>Ha'aretz is a commercial newspaper. It exists to make money for its owners. As you probably know, Amos Shocken sold something like 50% of the paper to a German (who is old enough to remember "the good old days" there...he as a youngster growing up in an important family, got to meet a lot of the VIP's in the Nazi regime). What is important to them is the bottom line. Ha'eretz's circulation (always the lowest among the major newspapers) has been dropping for years, and Landau's comment that I mentioned above, plus his statement to Condi Rice that he wanted the US to "rape" Israel (interesting that that is how Landau views the US forcing Israel to do what he wants) apparently turned off just too many people. That's life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
