is she Jewish?

More importantly HOW OLD IS THIS WOMAN? 80? 90? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.243.148.57 (talk) 17:18, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why is that notable?DougHill (talk) 20:41, 10 August 2008 (UTC) Given what she has written for "Institute of Human Relations Press, American Jewish Committee" (now listed on the page), perhaps that is notable. But I only know that she has written for them.DougHill (talk) 18:36, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's not only "notable", but important because she argues that Jews have a right to spy on the USA for Israel. http://www.ifamericansknew.org/us_ints/sp-raimondo.html 186.4.229.43 (talk) 08:57, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Political commentary[edit]

Steve Dufour wrote (with his edit): "no special reason to mention these remarks when her whole career consists of making remarks on political figures and issues". I see your point. The previous quotes were meant to offer a sample of her writing, but you are quite right that others could be used. But does this mean that none should be used? Anyway, her early support of McCain is notable, I think something should be mentioned, so I've restored the mention and the citations without the quotation.DougHill (talk) 19:57, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good god, the political commentary section is a complete joke. I just love it when the people who edit these entries don't even try to hide their biases and the disgust they feel towards people with whom they disagree. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.141.152.250 (talk) 04:41, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rabinowitz Apology[edit]

I read reference 13 and did not see anything that supported the statement that Rabinowitz apologized for her poor reporting presumably about the Broderick rape affair other than the bare no context quote that she was not a hard news reporter.

Well, duh. The business of the WSJ editorial staff is opinion. She gave her opinion and the reasons for it. That this opinion as to the facts was not carried or shared by a news department, even the WSJ news department, is not in itself anything that calls for an apology.

Moreover, I believe this whole Political Commentary section should be stkicken as a fiercely partisan rehash of Nation and Solon mostly ad moninem attacks on the WSJ editorial board in general and Rabinowitz in particular.

Personal life[edit]

Since this person is a cultural and political commentator, I think it would be worth the article setting out what is known of her personal life, upbringing, any interests she might have, that would let people put her comments into context. So far this is a bit of a Newspaper biog stub. iPhil (talk) 22:02, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
