This past Motzei Shabbos, thousands of Satmar Chasidim gathered to celebrate Kuf Alef Kislev, which is an annual event celebrating the miracle of the Satmar Rebbe ZATZAL’s rescue from the Nazis YM”S.
On 21 Kislev 1944, the Satmar Rebbe, Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum ZATZL, was rescued from the Bergen-Belson Nazi concentration camp along with 1368 other Jews. Since then, for the past 65 years, Satmar Chasidim have celebrated the day as a day of festivities which includes Divrei Torah, singing, and a Seudah.
There were two massive events held in Brooklyn:

To YWN: why haven’t you given equal postings of the Lubavitcher chassidim celebrating yud-tes kislev?????
Moderators Response: Chabad had their fair-share of coverage on YWN recently http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/article.php?p=74868
michali – just to add, I have never seen any signs of discrimination against Chabad from YWN. Why should you feel otherwise?
“Moderators Response: Chabad had their fair-share of coverage on YWN recently”
Isn’t news simply news?
Is there a quota on the amount of airtime you give to different groups?????
How about if the Lubuvitecher Rebbe had suddenly re-appeared, would that too have been ignored by you because as you put it, “Chabad had their fair-share of coverage on YWN recently”?!
For publicity hungry Moshichistn like “3. david_inuk”, no lubavitch coverage is enough.
