To the Corporation for Public Broadcasting: I am writing to express my strong disagreement with the
charge that NPR’s reporting on Israeli-Palestinian issues is pro-Arab or
pro-Palestinian. Nothing could be further from the truth. If anything, it is a
well-documented fact that reporting by all broadcasting services, including
NPR, is biased against Palestinians. (see FAIR
reports) For example, Palestinian deaths are reported at a much smaller rate
than Israeli deaths regardless of the fact that the number of Palestinians
killed by Israeli soldiers and civilians is much higher than of Israelis killed
by Palestinians. Furthermore, pejorative adjectives such as “radical”
are very often used as a matter of course whenever referring to Palestinians,
Arabs, or Muslims. NPR, of all the American networks, is the most balanced in
its reporting and the most willing to take the time to try to educate Americans
about the complexity of the issues in the Anne Bordonaro 802-496-8131 Yahoo! Groups Links
