But, just so The Blob wouldn't come off as too heavy-handed in letting his obviously stressed interviewee state his case, he clearly CENSURED HIMSELF (or was sloppily edited), leaving the fellow to hang at the end. This, after a lavish allowance for a erudite representative of the Israeli PM's machine, who had plenty of opportunity to state his case, which of course was the only right one to be 'considered'. NPR makes sure (as does Israel itself), that those stating the Israeli case sound more like Americans than those other 'Arab'-sounding ones. You know, those guys who throw shoes, and stuff.Porter Melmothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473990960543501439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27644679.post-89021546271414128712008-12-30T06:52:00.000-06:002008-12-30T06:52:00.000-06:00I can't listen to NPR while this murderous assault...I can't listen to NPR while this murderous assault on Gaza continues.
