C-SPAN2 1PM on BookTV - A debate on the NY Times w/ William McGowan and Michael Tomasky
William McGowan argues that The New York Times has adopted a liberal ideological agenda under the tenure of current publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. By doing so, he contends, the newspaper has tarnished its reputation as a trusted news source and presents his thoughts on the need for the newspaper to reform to remain relevant. William McGowan presents his arguments in a debate with Michael Tomasky, American editor-at-large for the Guardian at St. Francis College in Brooklyn Heights, New York.

92y:
In November, Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz and Jeremy Ben-Ami, the executive director of J Street, debated American Foreign Policy and Israel in a discussion moderated by Eliot Spitzer at the 92nd Street Y.
Questions asked included: Should military solutions or diplomatic ones be favored? What is the role of pro-Israel advocacy at a time of changing relationships between the U.S. and Israel? Does the traditional lobby speak for all, or even most, American Jews?
In the highlights above, Dershowitz and Ben-Ami begin by addressing a question by Eliot on their stance on the two state solution and a cessation of settlements. They moved to a debate over Iran and their nuclear program, and how best to deal with that. Both men agreed that the time for sanctions were now. The debate became heated at times, though in the end, both men shook hands after Alan made reference to Shakespeare. As Eliot said, “We not only solved the problems of the Middle East, but now we all understand great literature.”
