Now, let’s take a 60-second look at how this one-sided coverage translates into our political policy. Some Americans exposed to Arab-bashing grow up to be our leaders—leaders who turn their learned prejudices into foreign policy that can be costly in terms of American lives, our tax dollars, and our reputation as an ethical people.

We want lawmakers and diplomats to be mature, and fair-minded, addressing all sides of an issue before committing our country to a course of action. How likely is that if they react automatically every time the word “Arab” comes up?
