Irresponsible Jewish Blogs


Cross Currents: Blogistan

The writer of a recent article in the Agudath Israel monthly The Jewish Observer... found [that Jewish blogs] display utter disregard for essential Jewish ideals like the requirements to shun lashon hora (or forbidden negative speech) and hotzo’at shem ra (or slander), to show honor for Torah and respect for Torah scholars. I would have added basic fairness to the list. And truth.

Only if you hold this is a lashon hara/motzi shem ra/rechilus/sheker based blog...
