There were lots of demonstrations…For deaths of children in Palestine, for migrant children detained at the border and (that old favorite) Google buses.
We examined the potential effect that a recent Supreme Court decision might have on Planned Parenthood here in the Mission and how the recession has impacted day laborers.
We took a peak inside a store that’s newly opened and one soon to be shuttered.
Also, Caturday!
That’s right. There was a very large pro Israel protest that went down market street.
Be nice if you mention it too. Keep things balanced. Thanks.
I’m guessing that Daniel Hirsch and Claire Weissbluth got out-voted by the “hug a terrorist” majority on the ML editorial committee.
What’s the common theme of the three events reported here? You are allowed to pool your intellectual resources. But maybe that won’t be enough … They are reporting on events in one neighborhood and it seems no one else reported them. If you want ML to be the Financial Times you’re going to have to ramp up donations in a big way.
Wait, so you guys are anti-poor people, pro-evil (as opposed to good) landlord and developer AND pro-Israel? How consistently predictable!
ML reports lots of incidents and events that do not happen strictly within the Mission boundary, when it suits them. The seemingly endless series of articles on technology and privacy, for instance, that I’ve never seen you object to.
So it is entirely legitimate to point out when ML reports a local rally for one side of an issue and then oddly omits a similar local rally at the same time that just happens to promote the opposite cause.
Many Mission dwellers support Israel’s right to defend itself. Why would that surprise you? Are we all supposed to think the same in your brave new world?
A journal doesn’t have to have the resources of the FT to at least try and take a reasonable stab at being balanced and neutral
Except that had the anti-Israel rally been downtown and the pro-Israel rally been in the Mission, you’d have to believe that ML would have reported only the latter. Nobody believes that. And you would have whined if they had on the grounds of a lack of “balance”
The fact that you do not see bias when it happens here tells us far more about your bias than it does about the objectivity of ML.
You do not want balance and objectivity in reporting. You want to be stroked and kept comfortable with an endless junk diet of pro-socialist propaganda.
Maybe you should have organized a pro Israel Mission rally?
The point stands that the three local rallies were reported no where else, while the one you refer to made headlines in the larger media, how’s that for balance?
And are you seriously arguing that tech has nothing to do with the Mission?
If I don’t like the news reported by a site, I go somewhere else. That is the freedom of choice …
Why does ML cite the recent anti-Israel protest and yet mysteriously fails to mention the pro-Israel rally in SF this past week-end?
