Reading the profile of Noam Chomsky 's DTN profile reveals further the bias of the author and director of this website. Most of the smears, misrepresentation and abuse in this section comes derive from [[David Horowitz (ex-Marxist)|David Horowitz]]'s "The Sick Mind of Noam Chomsky", "The Sick Mind of Noam Chomsky, Part II: Method and Madness", etc. There is a long list of articles of a similar nature by the likes of Horowitz, [[Peter Collier]], [[Elliot Jager]], [[Bruce Thornton]], [[Anders G. Lewis]], [[Benjamin Kerstein]], [[Paul Crespo]]… etc. [http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1232]
Grammo fix
The DTN website contains a section on individuals, and states: "This section examines activists for leftwing agendas and causes, radical egalitarians, and opponents of American 'imperialism' "[http://discoverthenetwork.org/individual.asp]. It applies a smearing by association to the well known "leftists"; even Daniel Pipes hasn't stooped this low in his Campus-Watch website. Namely, DTN provides a list of leftists and intersperses the names/photos of demonized "terrorists" or people the neo-cons love to hate. For example, the first person on the list is "Abu Musab al-Zarqawi" (a demonized terrorist) and next to him is Al Sharpton. It continues, Dennis Kucinich, Fidel Castro, George Soros, Harold Ickes, Howard Dean, Jane Fonda, Jesse Jackson, Jim McDermott, etc. Guilt by association is implied, but there isn’t any association between many of the people on the list. The only thing that is attempted here is to smear some of the individuals involved, implying that there is an association with unsavory terrorists – although they forgot to add OBL! NB: DTN considers [[John Kerry]] and [[Nancy Pelosi]] as leftists, thus its remit is rather wide.
Just like Campus-Watch, DTN has a strong pro-Likud zionist bias. Several of the individuals it targets have been critical of Israel. The ''Issues'' section of the website lists The Middle East, and it ports much of the material available on Campus-Watch and [[Middle East Forum]].
