A week before NBC News President Neal Shapiro hired Rick Kaplan, a Friend of Bill, to take over MSNBC, the New York Observer ran a story by its "NYTV" columnist, Joe Hagan, who recounted how at the end of last year Shapiro did not renew the contract for Dr. Bob Arnot, who contributed positive stories from Iraq. Hagan relayed how "Arnot called NBC News' coverage of Iraq biased" and he, Hagan summarized, "wondered why the network wasn't reporting stories of progress in Iraq, a frequently heard complaint of the Bush administration." Hagan quoted from a letter Arnot sent to Shapiro:...

Newscasts on Baltimore County-based Sinclair Broadcast Group stations are reporting and airing stories this month that, under ordinary circumstances, would send viewers scurrying to the fridge. Their journalists are describing school construction and consumer sales and energy infrastructure. They're talking about people getting their first mortgages and the unemployed desperately looking for their first jobs in years. All in all, it's what would normally be considered mundane fare. But Sinclair's Jon Leiberman and Mark Hyman are reporting from Iraq. And they are presenting what they say are the positive, "untold stories" that the "liberal media" don't recount during constant coverage...

Thursday, Feb. 12, 2004 Arnot: NBC Dumped Me for Finding Positive News in Iraq NBC has refused to renew the contract of Iraq correspondent Dr. Bob Arnot. He says the reason is that he dares to find progress. "In a 1,300-word e-mail to NBC News president Neal Shapiro, written in December 2003 and obtained by NYTV, Dr. Arnot called NBC News' coverage of Iraq biased. He argued that keeping him in Iraq and on NBC could go far in rectifying that," the New York Observer's Joe Hagan reported today. "Dr. Arnot included excerpts from an e-mail from Jim Keelor, president...

Dr. Bob Arnot has claimed that NBC News did not renew his contract as a correspondent after he clashed with news producers who shunned his reports about positive rebuilding efforts in Iraq. The New York Observer is publishing excerpts from an email message sent by Arnot from Baghdad to NBC News President Neal Shapiro, saying in part, "NBC Nightly News routinely takes the stories that I shoot and uses the footage, even to lead the broadcast [but] refuses to allow the story to be told by the reporter on the scene [himself]." He indicated that he was particularly offended when,...

Bob Arnot, the medical doctor turned foreign correspondent for MSNBC and NBC News—the onetime chief medical correspondent "Dr. Bob" on NBC News, who has been filing prickly, Geraldo-like dispatches from Iraq—has been conspicuously absent from TV lately. Dr. Arnot’s contract was up at NBC in December 2003 and, according to the network, won’t be renewed in the foreseeable future. Dr. Arnot did not leave willingly. Although personal, his departure has also exposed the divides over TV coverage of the war in Iraq. In a 1,300-word e-mail to NBC News president Neal Shapiro, written in December 2003 and obtained by NYTV,...

U.S. TV network news about Iraq as distorted as al-Jazeera? Checking in from Iraq on Wednesday’s Hardball with Chris Matthews as part of that show’s look this week at “Iraq: The Real Story,” Bob Arnot highlighted a Muslim ayatollah in Iraq who “is furious at the press coverage.

MSNBC’s Arnot Contradicts Media Image of Iraq in Violent Chaos Bob Arnot, who rarely appears on NBC News programs, popped up Monday night on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews to contradict the image of chaos in Iraq hyped by the media. Launching Hardball’s week-long series, “Iraq: The Real Story,” Arnot recounted the challenges faced by troops in hostile areas, but countered the negative image of the Iraqi situation he knows Americans get from TV news. Arnot argued: “The real question is, given all the death and destruction that you see on television in the United States, what’s the real deal...

HUTCHINSON, Kan. - Bob Arnot, a war correspondent for NBC-TV, brought a sense of the war in Iraq to hundreds of Kansans. Arnot, speaking to 1,400 people at the Dillon Lecture Series on Wednesday, said soldiers stationed in Iraq have a sense of pride that is unexplainable unless experienced first hand. "Many of you have an impression of an extremely depressive war because of the ongoing loss of life and the rumors that soldiers want to come home," Arnot said. "That couldn't be further from the truth."

Turn on MSNBC - Joe is interviewing Bob Arnot to talk about the good news not being reported.

Best Coverage of the Combat Carpet Ride to Baghdad and Liberation? What’s Your Vote? Of course it’s vanity, of course! But what’s YOUR vote? In my humble opinion, the best television coverage was FOX NEWS and MSNBC cable. Both have many competent, informative, entertaining, thought provoking anchors. In this case, my opinion of the BEST will not nominate the names of anchors, however, though thanks to their hard work and news expertise. There were many, the best. But I am going to vote for four names, none of them anchors. North and Leventhal of Fox News. Bloom and Arnot of...
