This type of article is what Ami magazine is all about. It's like reality TV. So what if a rebbetzin writes a dvar torah on the page before or after.

I haven't read it because I can't get Ami here, can someone post the interview so I have also my share in talking about this?

Therefore, it is a poor choice of subject matter.
Also, I'm not sure that writing an article (not just this one) about someone controversial and leaving out the negative, absolves them of the lashon Hora issue. By bringing something to people's attention that will automatically bring people to talk about it, they are the cause of just what they think they are avoiding. |
I do not have the impression that any jewish magazine abides by the issur of lashon hara...
Just read the editorials about politics in either Ami or Mishpacha - they are full of lashon hara about the outside world, about politicians, about the israeli supreme court, etc...

I did not find the article sensational at all, or even worth a conversation. It was a interview with one person and her experience, not about the organization.

I agree. I personally don't get the Ami for many reasons, including their general hashkafa, but I read this article at a friend's house over Yom Tov.
Since NK is so beyond the pale of mainstream Judaism, there is no danger that anyone would be influenced. I thought it was interesting to hear his daughter's perspective, what it was like growing up with a father like that, and that he seemed to be mostly l'shem shamayim, even if he was misguided.
I think it's more equivalent to, say, a piece about a former Lev Tahor member reminiscing about a few nice parts of her childhood rather than equivalent to their whitewashing of Lev Tahor.

Correct me if I'm wrong but there is no issur of lashon hara re criticizing public figures that are not shomer Torah and mitzvos.
(Pretty sure it IS lashon hara to say that a frum magazine is printing lashon hara but that's a different topic.)
