Statement By ‘Di Tzeitung’: NY Post Dragging Us Back Into ‘Tale Of Two Cities’

The following is a lengthy statement by one of the most read newspapers in the Orthodox Jewish Community, De Tzeitung (The News Report):
The press coverage of the brutal murder of Mr. Menachem Stark is being dragged into the cesspool by the sewer “journalism” of the New York Post. From that rag, nothing better is to be expected. If blaming the victim is going to sell a few more papers, then so be it. True to their tradition, whenever a Chassidic Jew is involved in anything “newsworthy,” leave it to the Post to lead the charge to vilify, slander, libel not only the person in the news, but by extension the entire Chassidic community and their lifestyle, trying to reach as far as possible.
It is a sad day when the rest of the more respectable press and media don’t have the courage to stick to the facts, to show some common decency and compassion and yes, even to condemn the rag that puts their entire profession to shame.
