Great column from The Boston Globe’s Jeff Jacoby on Mid-East scholar Steven Emerson and The New McCarthyism. Blacklists, anyone? Why, look no further than NPR.

You really ought to check out the <a href=”http://world.std.com/~camera/docs/report/nprrecord.html”>CAMERA</a> website for an indepth analysis of bias at NPR. Admittedly, some of the quantitative analysis of time given to various sides, words, spoken, etc., strikes me as a bit silly, but the rest is quite instructive. The report is also very well annotated.
