The Times' Executive Editor Explains

"“I have no idea what the foreign editor’s view of the Middle East is, and I don’t want to know.”"  You don't know? I will tell you: he/she is a Zionist as are all the correspondents in the region with the exception of the late Anthony Shadid who shuddered from the adjective.  I know that you know and care.  I know one well-known Western correspondent in the region who had a talk about a possible job with the Times and the Foreign Editor focused on his/her views on Israel. #who_are_you_fooling
