Rolled

Updating a previous post on Haaretz's allegations that Jumblatt and Israeli Defense Minister Barak met in Washington: David Schenker blasts the Israeli press for passing on rumors fashioned from Syrian propaganda outfits. Schenker is absolutely right. Outfits like Cham Press, which had previously run a story entitled "Walid Jumblatt: Donkey of Mukhtara and Dog of Feltman," shouldn't be read as anything other than an indicator of the Syrian regime's mood.

Just goes to prove that the freedom of the press is worthless if the press is ignorant.
