I've moved the following insertion here for discussion:
In January 2012, Mr. Adler wrote an editorial in the paper suggesting that the State of Israel assassinate President Obama as a way to deal with a nuclear-armed Iran. [1] He later apologized, but also stated "I'm definitely pro-Israel to the max." [2]
As I noted in my edit summary, the Atlanta Jewish Times is over 85 years old, and this is one editorial. There was more space devoted to this single editorial than there was to the entire first 60 years of the newspaper's existence. WP:UNDUE is quite clear about this exact issue:
An article should not give undue weight to any aspects of the subject but should strive to treat each aspect with a weight appropriate to its significance to the subject. For example, discussion of isolated events, criticisms, or news reports about a subject may be verifiable and neutral, but still be disproportionate to their overall significance to the article topic. This is a concern especially in relation to recent events that may be in the news. Note that undue weight can be given in several ways, including, but not limited to, depth of detail, quantity of text, prominence of placement, and juxtaposition of statements.
The links in that paragraphs are to WP:RECENTISM and WP:NOTNEWS, which are obviously also quite relevant here. This material might belong in an article about its author, Adler (though I doubt even that), but it certainly has no place here. Jayjg (talk) 02:03, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
Agree WP:RECENTISM and WP:UNDUE. I think the way to use this story to our advantage is to see if any of the major news agencies running the editorial story writes some history of the paper that we can insert. Joe407 ( talk) 05:14, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
