About those ads…
We’re starting to field complaints about publishing the Republican Jewish Coalition’s ads attacking Obama (see one here).
As I wrote a while back in an editorial, our (no-brainer) decicsion is based on free speech, community pluralism, the need for us to remain a viable business, and the fact that Democrats are welcome to take out ads on their own. I also emphasize that we actively solicit ads from both parties. I remind people that they would not want us to be in the position of having to reject ads that support their own candidates.
See the 2006 editorial here.

Some people believe free speech should only apply to those with whom they agree. The ads are tough, but don’t cross any ethical lines. The Jewish News has made the right decision to run the ads.
