NEW YORK (AP) — NBC agreed Monday to give four Republican presidential candidates free time on affiliates in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina after they complained Donald Trump unfairly benefited from appearing as "Saturday Night Live" host earlier this month.
The network said John Kasich, Mike Huckabee, James Gilmore and Lindsey Graham each will get about 12 minutes of time to tout their candidacies during prime time on Friday and Saturday, and during this week's "Saturday Night Live."
"Vile at Vassar," exclaims an editorial in the New York Daily News. "Anti-Semitic Times at Vassar," notes a Vassar graduate at the Daily Kos. "Anti-Israel Jews and the Vassar Blues," pens an op-ed writer in the Wall Street Journal. Jonathan Marks in Commentary magazine asks, "What's going on at Vassar?"
Jewish students at Poughkeepsie, N.Y.-based Vassar College, responding to a 2015 questionnaire, said that at Vassar, it's unwise to advertise that you are Jewish because it will threaten a student's sense of safety. Jewish students self-censor pro-Israel opinions out of fear of retribution from intolerant peers and professors. At Vassar, voicing a pro-Israel view brands you a fascist, a racist, a colonialist, and morally compromised. The intolerant atmosphere suppresses freedom of expression, constructive debate is impossible, and conformity to an anti-Israel orthodoxy is demanded.
