check it out. Jimbo attended George Soros's Birthday party.

Gary is the #1 Watchdog of the Soros article. As Samiharris in the last year, and to a lesser extent MM before that.

As his friend on/off-WP, Chris "tofurio" Faille noted in GW book review, Gary is very interested in George Soros in his book too.

Comparisons to Prem Warat (sp?) article? Well, Gary isn't exactly (as far as we know) working for the BLP subject directly (as Jossi is for Prem), but then I don't think Jimbo personally attends Prem Birthdays, either.

Disgust amongst yourselves......i didn't edit Soros, but I believe the big stink there was that folks wanted to include criticism of Soros from a very high-profile incident(s) with American Fox TV commentator Bill O'Reilly commenting on Soros. It was negative. Unlike negative commentary (not journalism, editorialism) on Byrne, GW was all to happy to NOT include reliable source negative commentary on Soros. To an extreme in an edit war, fwiw.
