I-PBS: Inkonzo yoSasazo yePentagon?

Ababukeli be-PBS NewsHour abanolwazi kumajelo eendaba kudala beyiqaphela i-bias ye-US ekugqumeni kwayo umgaqo-nkqubo wamazwe angaphandle wase-US. Abo babhalele ijelo leendaba likarhulumente ngelizama ukulungisa le nqanawa yobuntatheli idwelisiweyo bayazi ukuba ukugxeka kwabo kuya kuwela ezindlebeni ezingevayo.

Yiyo loo nto amalungu eVeterans For Peace Chapter 27 kunye ne Women Against Military Madness aphendukela kwilungu lePBS lasekhaya, iTwin Cities Public Television (TPT), kunye nezikhalazo zethu malunga neNewsHour ethe kratya kunye nokugubungela ukufudumala. Ithemba lethu yayikukuba i-TPT iya kusebenzisa impembelelo yayo kunye nesikhululo sabazali bayo, ukuba ifumanise ukuba izigxeko zethu zifanelekile.

Kuthotho lweeleta kunye nee-imeyile eziya kwi-TPT, siye saqaqambisa iimeko ezininzi zepropaganda ezabonwa ukususela kuhlaselo lokubulawa kukaSirayeli eGaza. Baquka:

• Inkxaso evulekileyo yolawulo lwe-Biden ye-106 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi zoncedo eziya kubonelela ngezixhobo e-Ukraine, kwa-Israel, naseTaiwan, ngelixa silwela umda wethu osemazantsi kwaye sinciphisa ilungelo lendawo yokukhosela.

• Iimbekiselo kwindawo yonke “kwilungelo likaSirayeli lokuzikhusela”, kukhankanywa ngokuthe ngqo u-zero weProtocol I eyoNgezelelweyo yeNgqungquthela yase-Geneva, evuma ilungelo labantu abacinezelekileyo nabahleliyo ukuba bazibandakanye kuxhathiso lwezixhobo.

• Ukusetyenziswa rhoqo kunye nokungafunekiyo kwemithombo karhulumente engaziwayo ukukhuthaza ingxelo karhulumente-engaqhelekanga malunga nokuqhushumba kwe-Yemen.

• Ukuthembela kwiindwendwe "zeengcali" ezivela kwiitanki zokucinga (iZiko le-Middle East kunye ne-Hudson Institute) ezixhaswa ngemali kushishino lwezixhobo, kunye nokungaphumeleli ukubhengeza loo ngquzulwano yomdla njengoko bekhuthaza imfazwe.

Ipropaganda ye-PBS NewsHour ngokutyeshela nayo yayiphawuleka. Olunye uphuhliso lweendaba olungahoywanga lubandakanya:

• Isimangalo safakwa kwiNkundla yoMdibaniso liZiko lamaLungelo oMgaqo-siseko sityhola i-US ngokubandakanyeka kwimbubhiso kaSirayeli ngokuchasene namaPalestina.

• Iiakhawunti zalowo wasinda kwa-Israeli uYasmin Porat kunye noColonel Nof Erez zokuba imikhosi yezokhuseleko yakwa-Israeli yabulala abantu bayo abaninzi ekurhoxiseni uhlaselo lweHamas lwango-Okthobha 7, 2023.

• Isicelo sikaSenator uBernie Sanders, kunye nevoti ye-Senate epheleleyo engaphumelelanga, ingxelo yeSebe leSizwe malunga nokuphulwa kwamalungelo oluntu nguSirayeli eGaza ukuvavanya ukuthotyelwa koMthetho weLeahy.

• Isiphelo sikaMongameli Biden sijikeleze igunya lenkongolo ukuya kwinkxaso-mali efanelekileyo ngokuthumela izixhobo kwa-Israyeli nanjengoko iCongress yayixoxa ngolo ncedo.

• NgoJanuwari 13, 2024 uqhanqalazo lokuphelisa umlilo eWashington DC olutsale abantu abayi-100,000.

Emva kwezicelo zentlanganiso kunye noMongameli we-TPT uSylvia Strobel akazange aphendule, nge-10 kaJanuwari^th siye kwi-studio ye-TPT e-Saint Paul's lowtown silungiselele ukubonisa, kodwa sinethemba lentlanganiso ye-impromptu. Okwasivuyisayo kukuba, umncedisi kaMongameli uStrobel wehla weza kuthetha nathi. Ngelishwa, ebengekakulungeli ukubandakanyeka kumbandela wesikhalazo. Uthe uzakuzithumela iinkxalabo zethu kwi-PBS.

Zaqengqeleka iintsuku zaqhubeka nepropaganda. Sacela enye intlanganiso ukuze sixoxe ngokufaneleka kwesikhalazo sethu. Sifumene le mpendulo ilandelayo kuMlawuli we-TPT weNkqubo nge-24 kaJanuwari^th:

Molo uMnu. Madden,

Ndiyavuya ukuba ndinokuqinisekisa ukuba imbono yakho malunga ne-PBS Newshour yokugubungela imfazwe eGaza iyenza yonke indlela eya kubavelisi bolu thotho. Emva kokuba ndiqaphele eyona ndlela isebenzayo yokuba negalelo kwi-inshorensi yabo ndiza kusala isimemo sakho sentlanganiso.

Ozithobileyo,

USherry Meek,

UMlawuli weNkqubo

Ngoko sabuyela kwi-studio ye-TPT ngosuku olulandelayo ukubamba uqhanqalazo olucacileyo lokulwa nokubulawa kwabantu, kwaye sazise i-PBS NewsHour ukuba ukugubungela kwabo imicimbi yangaphandle "ayinyanisekanga, ilungelelene, kwaye ayithenjwa".

Seta ibhena enkulu ethi 'Stop Genocide' ecaleni kwendlela ngaphandle kwestudiyo. Sangena ngaphakathi kwisakhiwo sabo, kwaye saqhubeka nokufunda ngokuvakalayo iingxelo zenjongo yokutshabalalisa uhlanga ezazithethwa ngamagosa akwa-Israel. Emva koko sacofa imibhalo ebhalwe ngesandla yezo ngxelo kudonga lweglasi olwahlula istudiyo seTPT kwindawo yokwamkela iindwendwe.

Nokuba i-TPT kunye ne-PBS iyayithanda okanye ayiyithandi, siyakwenza konke okusemandleni ethu ukubuyisela 'uluntu' kumabonakude kawonke-wonke, kwaye sikhuphe abo bavumisa ingeniso.
