Michael Kinsley once described the ideological michegaas of the New Republic in the 80's like this. Liberals who found fault with the magazine's staunch anti-Communism would, upon being thrown a bone, remark, "even the New Republic says..." And conservatives, who hated the magazine's position on health care, could always find something they could sink their incisors into, upon which they'd cry, "even the New Republic says..."

Jewcy has its own special relationship with its readership, half of which thinks we're warmongering Zionist neocon Straussians, the other half of which thinks we're drooling anarcho-socialists with nothing nice to say about a beautiful tradition that stretches from Moses to Sandy Koufax.

This email just came into our slush box. I wanted to share it with the first half of our readership:

Are you guys ever planning to be balanced in your articles or is everything going to be the secular Jewish perspective on any topic... which inevitably tilts toward the Left... and I know Jews... when we tilt left, we REALLY tilt left.

How about some balance. Every time I bother to read articles on your website it's like reading the Daily Kos but with a Jewish spice in this Liberal Chulant.

I have nothing against Liberals, but if you're going to be a Liberal publication, then just say so... those of us who are not liberal would respect you a lot more if you did. We'd be even pleasantly surprised if you'd have more substantive articles or debates... kind of like the Harris vs. Prager debate.

That debate was the only reason I even signed up for your newsletters and I'm "THIS" close to unsubscribing after reading the drivel about Mulsim's in America that just got published. Please... How about some balance... There is something wrong with you all if your first thought after reading that article wasn't, "Hmmm... how come this guy is ignoring the daily, hourly, by the minute anti-semitism in the Muslim media year-round." Just check out www.memri.com to see it for yourselves... Professors debating on Al Jazeera if Jews really are pigs, and all the rest of it.

Hope I don't unsubscribe... this was promising... a young Jewish e-zine... but I can't stomach it anymore.

And Eli Valley's hooded-baby-turtle penis shrunk three sizes that day.
