"Journalist" accused of misquoting and gross exaggeration

Antony Loewenstein's post mortem of the Greens drubbing in New South Wales continues to draw flak:
Another twist in this sordid saga comes as sources close to [Greens Balmain candidate] Jamie Parker reveal to VEXNEWS that he disputes the quotes attributed to him by “journalist” Antony Loewenstein. “Low-blow” does have a reputation for misquoting or quote-fabricating so we might have to give Parker the benefit of the doubt unless the “journalist” can produce a recording.
Loewenstein does indeed have quoting issues, misquoting a Mark Steyn speech and quoting from memory a disputed conversation with a family member.

It's also worth noting that Loewenstein blames not only Zionists but also the broader Jewish community for the Greens poor showing in New South Wales.

And finally, Loewenstein claims his hatchet job on Jews is a great success:
New Matilda published my investigation yesterday on the Greens. It’s received a huge response, with many people pleased somebody had revealed the levels of hatred directed at the party, Zionist lobby bullying and so-called progressive Jews and others remaining silent in the face of these actions.
This is, of course, a Loewy lie: his New Matilda piece has so far received 26 comments, most of which are negative.

That's vile. Jews apparently have an obligation to apologise for alleged actions of alleged co-religionists. What an anti-semite.

Yes, yet at the same time, Loewenstein claims he is one of the 'independent Jews' and can't be held responsible for the actions of others.

He wants a bet each way.

And several of which were mine. Don't mistake those comments for other people who give a shit about what Loewenstein has to say.
