Two major corporate underwriters to WBUR, Boston’s National Public Radio
affiliate, have ended their support of the station for what they claim
is its pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli bias.
Today’s Boston Globe identified the two companies as WordsWorth Books of
Cambridge and Cognex Corporation of Natick. It said that the president
of WordsWorth, Hillel Stavis, and the CEO of Cognex, Robert Shillman, are
members of Boston-based CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East
Reporting in America), which has often been sharply critical of the
media’s handling of Middle East issues and especially critical of
National Public Radio.
The group has also accused ABC’s Peter Jennings
of betraying “an anti-Israel “bias that runs deep and sly.”
