Media coverage of Israel-Palestine conflict 'limited,' 'evasive'
Nicholas Guyatt's column (April 7, 2003) on the endless Israeli-Palestinian conflict is more candid, cogent and responsible than the limited, evasive recent reporting and commentary by the New York Times, Washington Post and TV pundits. The media seemingly don't dare to draw attention to Sharon's ability to block any progress, or promise of progress, on this issue, or any U.S. policy position Sharon regards as not unqualfiedly pro-Israel.
For example, as soon as Sharon said he'd not support the latest version of the U.S.-sponsored "road map" toward possible solution of the conflict, voices in Congress immediately chimed in to agree with Sharon and express "concern." Immediately thereafter, Bush is said to have told the Israelis privately not to worry, he's not going to push the "road map" scheme. This quiets pro-Israel critics of the U.S. proposal, and puts the issue again on a back burner, where the media will allow it to stay. Shame! Charlton Price '48 Kansas City, Mo.

What is a Princeton degree really for?
