Over at Haemtza RHM provides his daily dose of haredi bashing, though today's installment has a twist.

Normally Reb Harry Ha Mercazi picks on a news item, or a thought in his head, that he uses to provethe ills of haredism and the virtues of Centrism. Apparently there was nothing in the press today that, when taken in its straightforward sense, could possibly be interpreted as putting Haredim in a bad light. Enter Reb Hershel min HaMizrach who, through centrist creativity, found a way to take a nice story and flip it such that it sheds bad light onto Haredim. The reasoning is - if it is newsworthy when they do something good, it must be a rare exception. The problem for our איש התווך is, though, that applying this reasoning to the negative stories would imply that the rest of the Haredim are good.
Bottom line - if you are passionate about seeing the bad, you can always find a way
