I don't understand the emphasis on "unbiased"; seems to me a rather pointless routine to expect it, especially when they show no such interest in it themselves.

There's a bit of a difference between them and "Palestine Media Watch", Fox News, Pipes' MEForum, The Jerusalem Post, Zionist Organization of America, etc.. While I'm of the perhaps peculiar position that I don't think any of them should be barred from being offered up for discussion (as there is often a useful message that goes along with such things, even before a word on the particular subject is put forth), there are some that fit in with the general framework of this site a little better than others, and that perhaps explains the reaction you've received.

Personally, I find that their works are of a consistantly superior approach and detailed backgrounds of the historical context for events being spoken of (quite useful, perhaps more than the reference to a current event itself).
