BBC CHANGES BIASED TV LISTING

In response to complaints, BBC editors have removed a tendentious, editorialized television listing for a program airing tomorrow night, "Israel and the Arabs: Elusive Peace."  Before the listing stated:

The story of how Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Barak persuaded President Clinton to devote his last 18 months in office to helping make peace with Yasser Arafat. But Barak got cold feet twice. Then Ariel Sharon took a walk around Jerusalem's holiest mosques, and peace making was over.

And, after:

The story of how Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Barak persuaded President Clinton to devote his last 18 months in office to helping make peace with Yasser Arafat. But after tense negotiations the deal was never made.
