Talk:Haaretz

Herzog is the Israeli president today
Perhaps it should be noted where he's mentioned. Shovalis (talk) 07:22, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Please Edit This Word Choice
I think the last sentence of the first paragraph of this page's "Editorial policy and viewpoints" needs an edit: "The Haaretz editorial line is supportive of weaker elements in Israeli society, such as sex workers, foreign laborers, Israeli Arabs, Ethiopian immigrants, and Russian immigrants."

The word "weaker", or the phrase "weaker elements", is too subjective—as well as inflammatory. Isn't it? Dsa605 (talk) 14:27, 22 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Maybe they meant weaker like marginalized. If that is the case, an edit is still a good idea for greater clarity. Thanks. Dsa605 (talk) 14:28, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

"Far-left" is not supported.
I've reverted this edit. The two sources used to describe Haaretz as "far-left" were:

1.

2.

The first is an opinion piece by Caroline Glick, an Israeli conservative. The second is an editorial by Ed Morrissey on Hot Air, a conservative political blog. (It does not appear on the WP:RS/PS list.)

AllSides rates Haaretz "lean left", barely. For reference, other things Hot Air has called "far-left" include The Squad, Ron Filipkowski, Media Matters, The Trevor Project and Planned Parenthood, Mayor Brandon Johnson, and of course, George Soros. grendel&#124;khan 04:10, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The far-right activist Glick calling Haaretz "far-left" would make a good political cartoon. Zerotalk 08:54, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Newspaper of record? What?
Haaretz is by no means Israel's newspaper of record. Its viewership is less than 5%, and there are more than a couple newspapers who are faaaar more relevant to that claim. Let's not jump over our head, Haaretz in Hebrew is very, very, rarely read. Shovalis (talk) 22:21, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The concept of "newspaper of record" has nothing to do with the size of the readership. Zerotalk 06:00, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * A 2011 Tablet article is entitled Israel’s Paper of Record. Mcljlm (talk) 16:20, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

As to the last sentence on the first para ("It is known for its left-wing and liberal stances on domestic and foreign issues")
As to the last sentence on the first para ("It is known for its left-wing and liberal stances on domestic and foreign issues"):I think that the word "liberal" should be removed for accuracy,and that the word "general" in between "its" and "left-wing" should be written in order to avoid incorrect inclusion (Sometimes right-wing or more "moderate" views are in place,at least until recently).
