Columbia University, denying an Iranian report that some professors are enroute to Tehran to apologize to Mahmoud-the-mad for insults on his recent New York visit, includes an interesting little slap:
"We ask that a clarification be added….and that verification of the facts even during the era of Google’s news value-neutral, digital age continues to be warranted."
Ah, yes, let’s bemoan the end of the days when the gatekeepers got to decide "news value." Boo hoo.

The modern American elite university, quick to condemn its own country, slow to confront much less to condemn obvious foreign evil, embraces an Iranian thug:
"Columbia doesn’t host ROTC or (I think) military recruiters on campus, because it would be just too offensive to do so, because the military obeys the law passed by a Democrat Congress and signed by Bill Clinton which bars open homosexuals from serving in the military," Michael Ledeen emails Instapundit. "OK…Why (then) think a man who heads a regime that executes homosexuals–not just excludes them from military service, but hangs them by the neck until dead, in public ceremony– should be honored with an invitation to speak at Columbia?"
At least Mahmoud the Mad has only talked about destroying Israel. He hasn’t actually tried it. Yet.
