Should I ditch Arutz Sheva as being inaccurate...

In your post to me you made it sound like they were okay... In the next post not.

Don't want to be reading bum information...

Arutz Sheva has very good articles a lot of the time. They aren't afraid to say anything or report anything. They never care about being politically correct. That makes them valuable.

You have to understand Arutz Sheva's viewpoint, though. Politically they are about as far right as Israeli politics goes. They represent the views of the religious/ideological settlers, National Union, and those haredim who are most hawkish. (Not all haredim are hawks. Shas sat in coalition in the Rabin, Peres, and Barak governments.) They are biased from the far right, just as Ha'aretz is biased from the left. Media in Israel always has a political viewpoint. There is no claim of balance from most outlets, but rather an honest statement of where they are coming from.

So, by all means read Arutz Sheva's website or listen to their audio if you understand Hebrew. Just be sure to read other viewpoints as well.

For the record, my bias: I support Likud and Prime Minister Sharon at present, but I am not Orthodox.
