Controversial Guest Sparks Show Cancellation and Damage Control for NPR Affiliate

Boston's NPR station, WBUR, pulled a program from national distribution after a professor expressed doubt that women and children had been killed by Hamas during a recent attack on Israel. The program featured Khaled Hroub, a professor at Northwestern University in Qatar, who claimed that the reports of Hamas killing civilians were fabricated and that Israeli media feeds misinformation. WBUR stated that the episode did not meet their editorial standards and felt compelled to pull it due to the danger of misinformation. Northwestern University distanced itself from Hroub's comments and strongly condemned any attempt to minimize or misrepresent the terror attacks.
