“Should decent people subscribe to The Progressive?”

Dear Mathew Rothschild, editor-in-chief, “Progressive”

I have just read on Norman Finkelstein’s Blog “Should decent people subscribe to The Progressive?”

What you and “Progressive” Political Editor, Ruth Conniff have done has nothing to do with journalism, with free speech or with politics. As a human being I am ashamed to see so much dishonesty and unprincipled tactics just to harm personally the academic career of someone you disagree with. It’s not enough to call yourself “progressive” when your tactics smell of Stalinism.

I have a couple of times advertised my documentary XXI CENTURY on your publication. I won’t make again this mistake in the future. I will also delete all the links to your publication on my website.

I also hope that the many people writing on your publication will stand up to this new low. To answer Finkelstein’s question, “Should decent people subscribe to The Progressive?”, the answer is, No, they shouldn’t. Nor should they write for it.

Kind regards,
Gabriele Zamparini
