Great essay showing how NPR News management suppressed opinion to appease Middle East advocates.

NPR blacklisted Emerson in 1998, bowing to a pressure campaign by Muslim extremists who falsely libeled him as an anti-Muslim bigot. It was an outrageous charge: He always stresses that the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful and law-abiding. Nevertheless, NPR officials - including its national news editor - explicitly vowed to keep Emerson off the air. ''You have my promise he won't be used again,'' producer Ellen Silva wrote to Ali Abunimah of the American Arab Action Network. ''It is NPR policy.''

After I (Jeff Jacoby) exposed this disgraceful blacklist in a column, the vice president of National Public Radio flatly denied it. ''There never was and never will be a policy of banning or blacklisting at NPR,'' wrote Jeffrey Dvorkin. ''Mr. Emerson is not `banned,' and in fact we anticipate that he will be on NPR again at an appropriate time.''

That was 31/2 years ago. Emerson's voice has not been heard on NPR since.
