NP motherf#cking R

I am losing my mind. After hearing a NPR story this morning by Deborah Amos about the elections in Lebanon, I lost it. How long do we have to stand editorial masquerading as report?

Here is what I sent to their website. I need a vacation.

"Would it be possible to at least attempt objectivity? The use of loaded terms and frankly one-sided analysis make this the kind of report that makes people question NPR's slant. The idea that the "Cedar Revolution" had little to do with the administrations policies in the middle east- from rhetoric to action in Afghanistan and Iraq is simply not realistic, no matter what people who oppose that policy say. I doubt you would have had to look very far for a quote supporting that, but somehow we didn't hear one after a "wide sample" was polled, including some choice words from American professors; supporters of administration policies, no doubt. Also, the editorial/report seemed to indicate the only the administration "labels" Hezbollah a terrorist organization. If they don't fit the definition, who does?
Hezbollah has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States [1] (http://www.state.gov/s/ct/rls/pgtrpt/2000/2450.htm) the United Kingdom [2] (http://europa.eu.int/comm/external_relations/lebanon/intro/), Canada [3] (http://www.osfi-bsif.gc.ca/eng/publications/advisories/index_supervisory.asp?#Supter)[4] (http://www.osfi-bsif.gc.ca/eng/documents/advisories/docs/entstld.txt) and Australia- the U.S. Department of State notes that Hezbollah has killed more than 300 American citizens (over 200 of whom were Marines in Lebanon.) Russia has only recently begun to draw up a list of organizations it classifies as terrorist, which may reflect that of the EU [6](http://www.cdi.org/russia/johnson/7029-5.cfm). The European Union has designated Hezbollah's so-called External Security Organization or international wing as "terrorist," which can be construed to afford legitimacy to the group's political wing. On March 10, 2005 the European Parliament voted overwhelmingly (473 in favor 33 against) on a resolution branding Hezbollah in whole as a terrorist organization. The resolution stated that the "Parliament considers that clear evidence exists of terrorist activities by Hezbollah. The (EU) Council should take all necessary steps to curtail them"[7] (http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/spages/550729.html). The EU has also decided to block Hezbollah's Al-Manar television from European satellites due to its anti-Semitic content[8] (http://www.daneshjoo.org/publishers/currentnews/printer_1668.shtml). The United Nations has not included Hezbollah on its list of terrorist groups (which is just being drawn up). However it has called for the disbanding of Hezbollah's military wing in the UN Security Council Resolution 1559. Hezbollah has denounced some acts of terror, like the September 11 attacks[9] (http://cfrterrorism.org/groups/hezbollah2.html) and the murder of Nick Berg[10] (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3710057.stm). However, as a stated aim of Hezbollah is the destruction of the state of Israel, it expresses support [11] (http://www.unb.ca/web/bruns/9900/issue14/intnews/israel.html) for the activities of Hamas, an Islamist group responsible for suicide attacks inside the occupied territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, as well as inside Israel itself.

To give the impression that only America has this view is shoddy reportage."
