Turns out Klein is definitely not a RW Israeli supporter. He has gotten and is known for his interviews with known terrorists.
From the Wiki article:
* Before the 2006 U.S. midterm elections, Klein conducted a series of interviews with senior Middle East terrorist leaders who urged Americans to vote for Democrats <6>. Jihad Jaara told Klein a Democrat win would ensure victory for worldwide jihad, explaining the Democrats policy of withdrawal from Iraq would "enhance the resistance." Klein also read to the terror leaders statements from prominent Democrats such as House minority leader Nancy Pelosi claiming a withdrawal from Iraq would end the insurgency there. All terror leaders interviewed rejected the claim. Islamic Jihad leader Muhammad Saadi said an American withdrawal would "prove the resistance is the most important tool and that this tool works." Jaara declared a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq would "mark the beginning of the collapse of this tyrant empire (America)."
Also from Wiki:
Klein routinely conducts interviews with Middle East leaders and newsmakers, who have included: the late PLO Leader Yasser Arafat; Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak; Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu; Hamas chief Mahmoud al-Zahar; Albanian Prime Minister Fatos Nano; former Lebanese Prime Minister Michel Aoun; Lebanese Druze leader Walid Jumblatt; imprisoned spy Jonathan Pollard; leaders of the Taliban; Palestinian negotiation minister Saeb Erekat; former Israeli foreign minister Shlomo Ben-Ami; Al-Muhajiroun leader Omar Bakri Muhammad; Army of Islam leader Abu Muhammad; West Bank Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades leader Ala Senakreh and rocket chief Abu Oudai; Popular Resistance Committees leader Abu Abir; and 2002 Siege of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem leader Jihad Jaara.
None of the stuff in Wiki said anything about him being biased in his journalism. I can't imagine all those personages with much to lose from biased reporting would have granted those exclusive interviews to someone without a pretty solid reputation. I would say the burden of proof is on those who claim that Klein is "making shit up".
