What About 'Opposing Viewpoints'?
RECEIVED Tue., Oct. 30, 2007
Dear Editor,
I was disappointed and irritated by Josh Rosenblatt's “Fox”-worthy review of Alex Jones' End Game [“The Scene,” Screens, Oct. 26]. Or was it supposed to be “beat-up-on-Alex day” and I missed the memo (in that case, my apologies)? The “review,” or whatever it was supposed to be, was composed of total “snark.” Was there a point to be made? Surely, if one disagrees so vehemently with anyone (Alex Jones or anyone else, it doesn't matter), then at least tackle one or two issues intelligently, and explain. It's called “opposing viewpoints.” Having been born and raised in the Netherlands, I know all too well that once upon a time, people could not comprehend or accept that the Nazis (not to include all Germans) were readying themselves for the annihilation of the Jewish people. It is not the subject that matters but the treatment and dialogue thereof. Rosenblatt's petty (dis)missive did nothing to enlighten anyone. Not in the least as to why he was so disagreeable.
