  1. I notice you write, “The Jewish Week says a Hebrew language charter school could threaten religious day schools.”

    Wouldn’t it be a little more even-handed to also write “The NY Post says” Thompson is no reformer? Isn’t the Post a tabloid from ultra-right winger Rupert Murdoch, the same guy who brings us that “fair and balanced” Fox News?
