Had I personally heard the mashgiach say “only Hamodia” I would be more equipped to form an opinion, based on tone of voice and context, on what he meant. As is, I’ll assume he was not being literal. Besides my point about the BMG ads, I don’t think any of that other publication’s shortcomings would warrant exclusion from a good Jewish home.
