Yesterday I posted about ABC Australia’s admission that a report blaming Israel for palestinian drug woes did contain inaccuracies and was in breach of its own editorial standards for balance. Although the ABC did admit to these things, they were not willing to review “the research or due diligence” of the reporter in question (David Hardaker), nor determine whether Israel had been defamed.
As a follow-up to this story, the man responsible for this victory against media bias, Israellycool correspondent Dr Sam, has informed me that David Hardaker now works in PR.
For the Dubai government (He’s certainly well qualified for the role).
This should indicate to you all that his lack of balance was not an innocent mistake nor the result of negligence, but rather indicative of a concerted effort to paint Israel in a bad light.
Update: Here’s more on Mr Hardaker. Notice how he speaks Arabic.
