...and a rating system

The Jerusalem Post should establish an index for its columnists and op-ed writers – a scale icon that could appear at the beginning of each submission with, for instance, a numerical range of 1 through 6, with 1 being farthest right and 6 farthest left. This would not act as a restraint on content, but simply identify the writer so that readers could at least be on guard for the discrepancy in “facts” presented by contributors.

The overwhelming plethora of far-left writers presented in your opinion pages these days – Jeff Barak, Gershon Baskin, Douglas Bloomfield, etc. – inevitably skews the paper’s message.

The Post has every right to publish whomever it wishes, even writers who champion modern-day Nazis from Germany or those who wish to aid Palestinian terrorists. But wouldn’t it be at least constructive for your readership to get some a priori assistance in identifying the source of its information? CHAIM ABRAMOWITZ Jerusalem
