NPR didn’t quote a single member of Michigan synagogue after attack — but interviewed terrorist’s pals in Lebanon

NPR didn’t manage to quote a single member of the Michigan synagogue that was attacked last month by a crazed Hezbollah-supporting terrorist last month — but did manage to track down his pals 6,000 miles away in Lebanon, a new report reveals.

Now even NPR’s public editor is criticizing the lefty broadcaster for the stunning oversight.

Instead of focusing on the victims in the heinous attack, a March 14 “All Things Considered” segment sent an NPR reporter to the Lebanon hometown of Ayman Ghazali, 41, who just days earlier had rammed his truck into a Jewish preschool at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township.

The FBI later confirmed Ghazali — who killed himself after engaging in a firefight with a security guard — was inspired by the Iran-backed terrorist group.

NPR headlined its article “In a small Lebanese town, grief and fear follow the Michigan synagogue attack,” resulting in listeners quickly calling out the publicly funded outlet for attempting to paint the terrorist and his family in a sympathetic light.

One listener, Batya Ungar-Sargon, wrote sarcastically in a Substack post about the coverage that “NPR found the real victim of an attack on 140 Jewish American babies — and it’s the Hezbollah-infested town in Lebanon that raised a family of terrorists.”

Israel Defense Forces revealed after the attack that Ghazali’s brother was a Hezbollah commander.

Another audience member, Richard Wilkins, took NPR to task for its one-sided coverage that downplayed the brothers’ known association with the terror group.

“NPR’s reaction? Sympathized understanding for the subsequent ‘grief and fear’ in his former hometown. Concealment of then public knowledge that those two brothers were Hezbollah terrorists, in a town full of Hezbollah sympathizers,” he wrote NPR’s public editor Kelly McBride.

Well, you can’t expect them to talk to JOOOOS.

That might ruin NPR’s stellar repuation among jihadis.

Of course they did this. They are the clueless ‘intelligentsia’.

Well that justifies stripping them of all public money and should be a reason for the FCC and the FTC to fine and regulate them in to extinction.

File this story wkith the effing judge who issued an injunction against Donald Trumps executive order to defund NPR.

They are a propaganda armof the enemy.

Maybe a bimb would be in order.

NPR public editor Kelly McBride admitted the station fell short in its one-sided coverage of the Hezbollah-inspired Michigan synagogue attack last month.

Well, duh! Sadly, she says nothing about fixing the obvious bias proffered by NPR. Indeed, there a program that could save a few dollars towards the national deficit.

I’ll bet NPR “journalist” wore a keffiyeh while interviewing the terorist’s pals.
