A newspaper decided one day only to print "good news". Readers said they didn't like it, that it reminded them of Soviet newspapers like Pravda and they weren't interested in the newspaper continuing this.<br />Obviously, people who are part of the religious community appreciate the good things it represents, they wouldn't be a part of it otherwise. However, maybe those you are criticizing here feel that the problems they are discussing are not getting a fair hearing in the larger community, especially in the official media. While it is true that there is a difference between constructive and destructive criticism, simply sweeping problems under the carpet can lead to a problem ulcerating and becoming much worse in the future. A fair balance needs to be found, but censorship or cover-ups are ultimately self-defeating.Y. Ben-Davidnoreply@blogger.com
