Story No. 1: Journalist Matt Friedman, a former Associated Press writer, has published another article about media bias. This time, hes revealed, among other things, the fact that the news agency has blacklisted Prof. Gerald Steinberg and the organization he founded, NGO Monitor, a body that exposes the anti-Israel agenda of NGOs and the funding they receive from the European Union, other European states and various funds from around the world. Were talking about an organization without which wed have to invent one just like it. Why, Steinberg repeatedly asks, does Europe finance entities that dabble in demonization, that nurture the illusion of the right of return, and, to a large extent, deny the State of Israels right to exist? NGO Monitors publications are usually very accurate and devoid of any contentious attitude. Setting aside just one report, I found no inaccuracies in the organization Steinberg heads. Why was the organization blacklisted? Because not only has AP collaborated with the entities Steinberg has exposed and criticized, but the news agency has also become a spokesman for these entities. AP didnt want to allow itself to be confused by the facts, so it gagged Steinberg and his organization.
