 PLO's
LONDON REP SLAMS
Honest Reporting
On
Nov. 30, BBC TV's NewsNight program finally put some tough questions
to the PLO representative in London, Afif Safieh. Safieh was caught
off-guard by challenges regarding Palestinian terror and Hamas'
popularity, and was noticeably embarrassed on-air.
So
Safieh wrote a letter to the BBC's Mideast ombudsman, Malcolm Balen,
complaining about the BBC 'ambush', and concluding with a slam of
HonestReporting:
The
fact that the BBC receives complaints form "the other side"
too is no proof of balance, fairness, objectivity etc. Most of the
"other" complaints emanate from an orchestrated campaign
by "honest reporting" which has nothing honest or innocent
about it.
It
seems the PLO has become irritated by HonestReporting subscribers'
diligent work.
HonestReporting
invites Mr. Safieh to dispense with the insults via third parties,
and express his concerns directly to HR editors and subscribers.
Mr. Safieh, our email is: action@honestreporting.com.
HonestReporting
has full confidence in the outcome of a debate between the PLO and
HonestReporting on the topic of media bias.
