Since the moderator allowed the thread, I’m somewhat hopeful that he/she/they will allow my response.
YWN is an aggregate news source. That means that they don’t employ journalists to document stories. They find content from sources that they feel are of interest to their readership and repost them on their site. I’m oversimplifying it, but my point is that YWN is directly responsible for the editorial content of their site, not necessarily for factual misrepresentations contained in outside reporting.
But a legitimate criticism of YWN, which may be what the OP was alluding to, is that YWN engages in editorializing without stating that they are presenting an opinion or their interpretation of a piece of reporting. For example, it was never reported that the Rabbi chose not to mention G-d in his statement. It was entirely possible that he donned a tallis and recited a complete Hallel, and the reporter didn’t think it was relevant enough to his wider audience to include it in his article. YWN chose to interpret that article as reflecting poorly on Reform Jews by attaching a headline to the story that didn’t reflect the facts of the story.
Good luck mod, I don’t envy you. Even if you discard my entire post, you’ll still have to wash your eyes out with soap.
It ain’t about luck. I definitely didn’t approve it and will have no qualms about deleting.
