Earlier this month, the blog authored by Michael Freund was nominated as one of the best of 2005 in the categories Best Politics and Current Affairs Blog, and Best Israeli Advocacy Blog.
During the first round of polling, Fundamentally Freund proved to be an extremely popular selection, and has been advanced by Jewish voters across the globe to the final round of voting in both categories.
Author Freund, who remains true to the “fundamentals” of common sense when reporting about the only Jewish nation in the world, is encouraged by the success of the blog in the current voting. “I view the results as a vote of confidence from the readers. I think there is a real need for this type of analysis, at a time when Jewish beliefs and long-term dreams have come under assault both from without and within.”
“The goal of the blog is to present an alternative approach to mainstream media’s take on Israel and the Middle East conflict,” Freund added. “Mainstream media is slanted against Israel, and I try to present a perspective of current events based on a realistic assessment of the situation together with a healthy sense of Jewish pride and values.”
Arutz Sheva is pleased its blog has been selected as one of the best as well. “Blogs have taken the Jewish internet by storm over the past two years. We are pleased to be a part of this popular trend that encourages poignant commentaries on a variety of issues, by a wide range of passionate individuals from professional analysts to teenagers,” stated Arutz Sheva Marketing Director Alex Traiman.
“Freund’s analysis is sharp and on target, and adds an ounce of humor to issues with a spin that is unfortunately uncommon in other media outlets” Traiman added.
