For @CJR I wrote about @jdforward and how, over the last year, it has positioned itself more as an authority on opinions about, rather than a driver of reporting on, anti-Semitism. About how it lost America’s Jewish left. cjr.org/special_report…
Jodi Rudoren initially agreed to be interviewed for the piece but days later backtracked, saying no one at the paper would speak to me. I was stonewalled because I had criticized the paper. She responded to facts and allegations only on condition I state as much.
Rudoren went over my head and contacted my editors at @CJR to tell them I am unfit to write a fair piece about the paper and actually implored them to find someone else. Someone there spent time researching all my tweets and sent them to my editors.
Now that the piece is out I see the opinion editor has provided a passive aggressive response that exhibits this paper does not know how to deal with criticism. To disagree with her is not a legitimate opinion. And then she incites against tiny Jewish left by calling it a “mob” 
So the Forward, a paper I respected and read for many years and wrote for many times, the only Jewish national outlet in the US born to serve Jewish immigrants, tried to kill an unflattering piece about them. cjr.org/special_report…
Even more than all the clickbait opinion and the smearing of women of color and specifically Jews of color, is evidence of how journalistically and morally bankrupt the paper has become
At a time when the American Jewish community needs strong Jewish journalism more than ever, it's been a real tragedy to watch the journalistic, political and moral demise of The Forward. cjr.org/special_report…
