Much News That Is Not Fit To Print
Gossip columns. In secular Israeli newspapers they are called "Turei RECHILUT". What an ugly disgraceful concept. A column devoted - ala Chofetz Chaim - to killing the writer, the readers and the unfortunate people written about. What is worse, there is no shame. It is published in a prominent part of the newspaper [page 6?] and unabashedly called "Gossip Column". The only way one can improve is if they realize that they are doing something wrong. If there is no shame but pride there is little hope.
One possible benefit. If the only Lashon Hara is in the gossip column then one could safely read the rest of the newspaper. The problem is that the slander and disparaging of others is not confined to the gossip column alone.
