I can't think of a major story that we have broken that was incorrect. But we have had to correct some things that were false; we have had to retract things. ↗
In a lot of cases, as in Tom and Nicole's case, the tabloids were about to break the story, so they said just let the news out. And they called organizations such as ours. ↗
Many have been with the show for years, and they have sources in the business, so we do know things, but until it is verified, we don't run with the story. ↗
I suppose that I was a kind of consultant for taste. Is it good taste? Or bad taste? I had an attention to detail, to what would tell best the story. Because many people get excited about the work and drift off from the story. ↗
Most American Jews came from the lower middle classes, and therefore they brought with them not a lot of Jewish culture. The American Jewish story starts with Ellis Island, and the candy store in the Bronx. ↗
My purpose is to have American Jews look away from the success story with which they've cheered themselves up, and to have them remember the classical tradition, whatever it is. ↗
