Subject: [Prishtina-l] alert: biased and unfair article about Kosova
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.58.0312111304390.23985@alb-net.com>


I just came across the following article ("Crime, terror flourish in
'liberated' Kosova") at canada.com and was upset to see such blatant bias
and twisting of the truth.

Perhaps someone like NAAC or each individual should contact the editor at
canada.com and point to their mistakes in the article.

Now, I'm not saying that there is no crime in Kosova. There definitely is
and all of us would like to see the drug trafficking etc. be dealt with.

However, the problem with the article is that it gives an impression that
Kosova is nothing but drug trafficking and criminal state/region.

If you intent to write individually to canada.com editors please be polite
and calm.

I would prefer if NAAC or some other US/Canada based organization drafted a
sample response letter that can be send to canada.com. Further, each
individual can also send the letter to canada.com to let them know that the
public is not satisfied with their level of professional journalism.
