      Oh no. That was what interested YOU. Your gambit. I’m not you. I want to talk about *exactly* what you are avoiding! Let me catch you up. We the public don’t let you set the Gated Institutional Narrative anymore. We’re not your sheep & don’t sit passively. We’re peers finally.

      Yes indeed, I'm definitely known as a chief guardian of the Gated Institutional Narrative. That's totally my MO. I hope everyone is as flabbergasted by this exchange as I am. You know, the one that was supposed to be about the IDW and Israel.

      Despite his bizarre behavior tonight, I'm still willing to have a substantive discussion with Eric, perhaps on a different medium.

      I want to know who you are. I’m happy enough to discuss @IlhanMN @AIPAC, BDS, anti-semitism. I make a well known point of trying not to talk to activists posing as journalists, except about this one topic of separating activism from journalism.

      Also happy to discuss this fixation of yours, which strikes me as doubly bizarre. I make my views known, strive for factuality and transparency, and also practice journalism, having been published in numerous major outlets. I have never feigned "objectivity." That's who I am.

      Well, first of all I respect you saying that. Really. No BS. As I said on @benshapiro’s show, I prefer someone like Hunter S Thompson who admits to biases as part of the story or someone who tries for objectivity even if it’s impossible over any activist posing as a journalist.

      I’ll take your word for it. Wanna try again? Take off your journalist hat & I’ll consider it. How are you not objective? Here’s how I am influenced. I come from a far left family pushing Jews to aspire to nearly impossible standards. I’m influenced by pogroms & the holocaust.

      Journalism is integral to my worldview, insofar as my worldview is predicated on empiricism and skepticism. So there's no way for me to "take off the hat." But it doesn't mean I strive for "objectivity." Fair-mindedness and impartiality? Yes. Objectivity, no. There's a difference

      Objectivity in the journalistic sense tends to connote a false ideology whereby adherents pretend to have no political preferences. Impartiality mandates adopting consistent analytical standards. Which is why I find the discourse around Israel so maddening, especially re: the IDW

          Okay. I’m a progressive Jew who has lived in Israel from a family touched by pogroms & the holocaust. I have some Palestinian sympathies. I‘m also exhausted by Palestinian gamesmanship. I‘m HIGHLY suspicious of BDS unless folks call for MANY boycotts *across* the region. Then no.

          I'm frankly getting exhausted by this conversation, though I appreciate your commitment to it. If I have a "bias," it's that I'm exasperated at how inconsistently standards are applied to discussions involving Israel, with the IDW's conduct this past week being a prime example.

          Michael don’t fall for his Talmudic tricks, he’s asking you to abide by standards he won’t confirm to. He literally will not address the main point. I can bet thousand bucks right now.

          People don't report objectively anymore b/c the internet has made it economically disadvantageous to do so, not b/c objectivity is impossible/problematic. Striving for objectivity is intellectually rigorous & important. That said, there is a glaring double standard re: Israel.
