Nationwide Protest of NPR's Biased Coverage

man i thought you were saying the radio show Coast to Coast (with George Noory) was protesting NPR. I was like WTF!!
 
Cry me a river, NPR runs the stories you don't hear anywhere else. It is important to hear things anti-Isreal, as much as it is important to hear thangs pro-Israel. I seriously doubt anyone uses NPR as their only source of news.
 
So THIS is why every other source of news is biased. Tell both sides of the story and all hell breaks loose... :disgust:
 
To a member of the Likud party maybe. NPR wins more awards in jounalism than anyone. They are also the ones trusted and agreed upon by boths sides to moderate presidential and high profile senatorial debates. Take your spam elsewhere. PBS and NPR is the only news which is'nt sensationalized BS still.
 
it has been highly documented that NPR is severly biased, when was the last time you listened to them and heard both sides of any story. they have their own agenda.
 
That's a load of Zionist propaganda if I ever saw one...I'm sorry but perhaps whoever put that web page together has trouble with the difference between biased reporting and reporting from a different perspective than what we are usually accustomed to? If you have a problem with NPR, tune into CNN and you'll be happy!
 
When both sides of the issue complain about biased journalism from the same source, it's a darn good sign that you may actually be hearing something close to the truth.

Besides, where else are you going to go for unbiased news on the radio? Rush Limbaugh? 😛
 
NPR and PBS is great, the other mainstream media outlets has become too sensationalistic. I hope they don't get bullied by this interest group...
 
NPR has it's own adjenda, objective reporting. Of course they lean over backward for the right because of the constant threat to their funding and spend a huge amount of time of capitalistic business reporting that doesn't deserve the attention.
 
I've been listening to NPR for a looong time, and I've always felt that they were pretty unbiased. But man, that show is so BOOORRRINNGG! Carl Castle's voice just grates on my nerves, too, like he has a mouth full of pebbles.
 
That's what I was thinking. This doesn't make sense.

Funny, when I listen, the Palistinians that call say it's profoundly biased toward Israel. :Q

Your the tree swinger who had a happy stiffy about a bunch of rich white kids dumping French Wine down the gutter. Do you take up with all the Pro War Idiot Causes? I swear Bongo, you and your tribe of shrunken heads are as goofy as some of these Anti War Protestors. What are you trying to prove, that there are brain dead individuals on both ends of the Political Spectrum?
 
Our immediate goal is to make the public aware that NPR's Middle East coverage is so biased as to be untrustworthy. Too many Jewish listeners react to NPR's coverage by feeling guilty about the way the Jewish State is 'mistreating' the Palestinians. Many others assume that the Middle East is just another situation where both sides are equally at fault. Indeed, it would be difficult for an NPR listener to realize that peace in the Middle East has been blocked by Arab refusal to recognize Israel. In the NPR version of history, it is Israeli "hard-liners" who are the obstacle to peace, not the ongoing Arab refusal to accept Israel's existence. We hope to plant a seed of doubt so that NPR listeners will react to an NPR report by thinking, "Yes, but this station is always biased toward the Palestinian side of the story." We believe that this is both important and achievable.

OK, I am Jewish. I am not too happy about what Israel is doing in the refugee camps, particularly the targeting, or willful disregard of the military actions' impact on innocent civilians. It is not OK to level a whole apartment complex and leave dosens of families homeless because one terrorist or militant lived there. It is not OK to launch shells or rockets into a group of civilians because one of them is a militant.
Would it be OK to blow up an Israeli bus full of civilians because a member of IDF happens to be one of the passengers? No, it would not.
I am very much interested in peace in the middle east, but I am also very much interested in the Jewish state not sinking to the level of those who perpetrated the Holocaust that initially justified the creation of Israel.
 
Nothing is going to change in that conflict until both leaders are gone, and reasonable people become leaders, until then its the same old same old.

Yes, but until then, there is no need to be walking around intimidating radio stations who don't paint a rosy picture of Israel. Because it's not rosy at all.
 
What a load! Because they don't run a bunch of one-sided stories kissing Isreal's ass they are anti-Isreal/ anti-semetic. :disgust: If you want to protest biased, narrow, one-sided reporting so start at Fox/CNN/MSNBC and such. What next, are you going to protest The Nation for being too conservative or the Times for being too liberal?

Where in the Constitution does it say that the press must be unbiased? Its impossible. I thought I read something in there about freedom of the press?...appearently you don't believe in this particular amendment. You have the right to disagree or not listen to it. you even have the right to protest, but to try and force a news organization to say what you want is against what freedom stands for.

Sadly, this is the state America is evolving into. So many of the ones so loudly calling for the defense of freedom and democracy are the ones most actively destroying it.

 
I'm sure that I'm not the only one who thinks that NPR's news coverage has a liberal slant. They can't seem to post a single news story about Iraq without slipping in a couple sentences anti-war protesters. I guess that some people would call that balanced journalism, except that they almost never have any commentators who agree with Bush's adjenda.
 
IMHO, both the Isreali's and the Pally's are guilty of horrible acts of murder and depravity, and neither side can be justified in thier actions based on what the other side has done.

The only way I see this conflict ending is by the entire world standing up and condemning BOTH sides (the Arabs cannot defend the Pally's actions, we cannot defend the Isreali's either) and forcing them to pick up the remaining shreads of their humanity and decency, sit down at the table and work out an agreement both can live with, lest we (the world) do it for them.

We cannot just let our pro-Isreali fundies counter their pro-Pally fundies and expect anything good to ever come out of it.
