Haaretz is Debka Lite.
Well, when I lived in Israel, Debka was a hell of a lot more accurate than the MSM. Some of the reports out of Debka that FReepers laughed at I saw were true first hand.
The Debka bashing may be popular, but its horsemanure. Debka is not a NEWS source, it is an INTELLEGENCE Leak center. Apples and Oranges...
Oh, and HaEretz is the NY Slimes of Israel. When God sad he would throw sins as far as left is from right, the left end of that scale is HaEretz. HaEretz means The one unique Land, funny that the most virulent anti-zionest newspaper in Israel would take a name like that. But then, wolves do tend to like sheep skin suits.
No, Haaretz is equivalent to the New York Times. Very liberal.
