  Thumbs Down to Robert Fisk THUMBS DOWN to Robert Fisk, Middle East correspondent for London's Independent newspaper and veteran Israel-basher, for anti-American and anti-Israel comments in his Nov, 19, 2002 appearances on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" and WBUR's "On Point" (WBUR is a Boston NPR affiliate). Fisk Warps the Facts An excerpt from Robert Fisk's book, published on the Independent online edition, provides example after example of why the British journalist's work is seen as warped and uninformed. Robert Fisk: Telling it Like it Isn't Robert Fisk, the notoriously anti-Israel journalist, wrote a column charging that Israel's friends have successfully influenced the semantics of Middle East coverage by American journalists, supposedly leading to journalistic obfuscation to the detriment of the Palestinians. Underlying Fisk's ire about American coverage is the reality that from his perspective as an extreme pro-Palestinian partisan, reporting by U.S. media is insufficiently tilted in the direction he prefers. Thumbs Down to Robert Fisk THUMBS DOWN to the London Independent's Middle East correspondent Robert Fisk for possessing such an overactive imagination and obsessive anti-Israel bias that, no matter what the incident or event, he is sure to blame Israel. Thus Fisk attributed the August 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa to "Washington's blind support for Israel." The Anti-Israel Rant of Robert Fisk Usual fare on cable TV's Discovery Channel — documentaries about inventions, nature, and archeology — gave way recently to an unabashedly anti-Israel series entitled Beirut to Bosnia and reported by British journalist Robert Fisk. UK's Independent Defends Unethical Journalism The Independent ran several columns expressing fury about the BBC Trust's ruling that Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen violated ethical guidelines — perhaps because the newspaper itself is guilty of the same sort of inaccurate, advocacy journalism. Walking With Angels at the National Catholic Reporter The National Catholic Reporter's recent lionization of Robert Fisk underscores the publication's persistent anti-Israel bias.
