These are two long articles, but well worth your while to understand how the media can deliberately twist and confuse and shade the facts. David Yerushalmi doesn’t need me to stand up for him, but I will. He’s the author of the model wording for the American Law for American Courts, which is now law in TN, LA, and AZ. He’s a fine American and I’m proud to know him. — Dorrie

NYT Searches for the Leader of the Anti-Shariah Movement, Finds Me Instead
I was featured, complete with pictures (and online video), in a 2,000+ word New York Times article about the anti-sharia movement in this country, written by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Andrea Elliot, which appeared in the Times’ July 31st Sunday edition, front page, above the fold. Impressive, no? Unfortunately, Ms. Elliot exposed herself as biased and in denial, and has since given an interview to NPR in which she more openly evidences journalistic condescension, in addition to the bias one normally expects from the mainstream media. The story was quite explicitly intended to link a national movement to a single individual, me, and then to suggest that this individual — again, me — was manipulative, hidden, and controversial. This is evident from the title of the article: “The Man Behind the Anti-Sharia Movement.”
[I’d suggest you start by reading that one, then coming back to Yerushalmi’s rebuttal. — Dorrie]
