(Click on photo to see the actual graphic in context)How about NPR's stellar coverage of the Israeli attack on US citizen Tristan Anderson? Click the graphic below to see for yourself.
Coming 6 years after the murder of Rachel Corrie, I guess one shouldn't be surprised. As Mondoweiss points out, this is typical for the US press - but, really, with the videotaped evidence of the unprovoked attack and with ABC and even the AP covering it, you might think it would get a mention. Oh, but wait, unlike the Rachel Corrie killing, which NPR did cover, the US State Department hasn't cleared the way for our intrepid NPR journalists by calling for a probe first.

We know NPR has a direct line to Likkud HQ, so I am sure that just as soon as they get the OK to go ahead from Bibi, they'll dispatch a crack team--insqueek and simon?--to report and present a thorough and credible report on...er...what's his name??? Troy, Trace? Ty?
What kind of idiot would hang around a group of violent, rock throwing protesters and think he wouldn't be in danger? Get a life. And a job.
What kind of sadist blames peaceful protesters when Israeli fascists move in for the kill?
NPR will never report on Tristan Andersen...
Nor on Tom Hurndall
NPR is scared to death that they will open themselves up to accusations of "Anti-semitism" by the Israeli lobby, which could conceiveably put an end to 9or at least reduce) their funding (ironically, the only thing that WILL...which means, if you really want to see NPR's funding "dry up"...
