NPR's Leila Fadel, a victim of harassment by Egyptian authorities, raises the false charge of Israel targeting journalists. She states Israel "struck a media building," without noting that Israel hit equipment belonging to Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV and Al-Quds TV. 
NPR's Diane Rehm Show virtually always stacks the deck with critics when Israel is discussed. So the result was predictable for the May 21 program when Rehm partnered with Fawaz Gerges, a media go-to professor with a tendency to take gratuitous shots at Israel.
In an example highlighting NPR's biased news judgement, the network devoted a feature to lamenting the Congressional decision to withdraw funding for a Palestinian version of Sesame Street, but ignored the Mufti of Jerusalem's call to kill all Jews. 
NPR ombudsman Edward Schumacher-Matos agrees with CAMERA on some points regarding Sheera Frenkel's flawed broadcast. But failing to call for corrections suggests a negative trend backwards.
Sheera Frenkel's NPR story, based on distortions and omissions, charges Israel with a purported agenda "to have a purely Jewish state and to get rid of all Palestinians, the ones in the West Bank and in Israel," as one interviewee puts it. 
USA Today (online, March 4) published CAMERA's call, by Washington director Eric Rozenman, for public broadcasting to finally conduct mandatory objectivity and balance oversight of NPR and PBS. 
On Jan. 20, NPR presented yet another report exemplifying its bias on the Arab Israeli conflict: A human interest story, devoid of essential facts and context, focused entirely on Palestinian grievances, with no Israeli voice, nor the reporter herself, providing a perspective, explanation or caveat on Israel's behalf.
