A FrontPageMag special report looks at anti-Semitism and anti-Israel bias at the Huffington Post. Among the report's findings:
- The HuffPost has been pre-moderating all user comments on its news stories
- The worst violations of the comments policies come from a group of radical leftists who “live” on the site 8-10 hours a day.
- Although many of the radical leftists congregating at the HuffPost express varying degrees of anti-Israel propaganda, the most virulent anti-Semitic hatred, libels and conspiracy theories come from a minority subset of these users.
- HuffPost routinely censors and bans users who speak out against the resident radical leftists, even though these users don’t violate the site’s comments policies.
Perhaps David Harris, who frequently speaks up for Israel on the HuffPost, figured out how to take on the site's resident radicals.
After a piece on Israeli aviation security generated nasty comments, Harris followed up with a new post directly engaging his comment page critics.
