Washington Post’s Inclusion of Chasidim Photos in Vaccine Hesitancy Article Draws Controversy
The Washington Post has faced criticism for its portrayal of Orthodox Jews in an article on vaccine hesitancy in Columbus, Ohio. Despite chasidim not being the subject of the article, multiple pictures of chasidim in New York were featured on the news outlet’s website. The Washington Post’s actions have the potential to fuel prejudice and discrimination against Orthodox Jews and other minority groups • Full Story
It appears that an article published by the Washington Post on Monday concerning vaccine hesitancy in Columbus, Ohio featured photographs of chasidim, or ultra-Orthodox Jews, in New York. This decision has been met with criticism, as the chasidim were not the subject of the article and their inclusion has been perceived as an attempt to associate the entire Orthodox Jewish community with negative stereotypes.
The Washington Post has been criticized for its perceived animosity towards Orthodox Jews, with some comparing its behavior to that of the New York Times, which has long been accused of displaying similar hostility towards this religious group. It is worth noting that such actions have the potential to fuel prejudice and discrimination against Orthodox Jews and other minority groups.
In conclusion, it is deeply disappointing to see the Washington Post engaging in such biased and irresponsible journalism. This kind of behavior serves only to further divide and harm society.
