Marty Peretz Has Found a New Reason to Pick on George Soros
We’ve already noted Marty Peretz’s obsession with George Soros. Now the New Republic big cheese has broken new ground in Soros-bashing: blaming the billionaire financier for airline mishaps.
Really, though, our main gripe with Peretz has nothing to do with Soros, and everything to do with the TNR chief’s calling our deputy Web editor “Arthur.” Oh, and we still have no idea why Peretz thinks the Forward is a non-Zionist newspaper.
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
