Al-Qaida letter about Fox News: ‘Let her die in her anger’

Al-Qaida letter about Fox News: ‘Let her die in her anger’ By Dylan Stableford | The Cutline – 2 hrs 23 mins ago

In a letter outlining al-Qaida's media strategy ahead of the tenth anniversary of 9/11, the terror group's top spokesman expressed disdain for Fox News.

"From the professional point of view, they are all on one level—except [Fox News] channel which falls into the abyss as you know, and lacks neutrality too," al-Qaida spokesman Adam Gadahn wrote in the January 2011 letter. The paper was one of a selection of more than 6,000 pages of documents seized during the May 1, 2011, raid that killed Osama bin Laden, which West Point's Combating Terrorism Center released on Thursday.

Writing to an unknown recipient, Gadahn, an American, gives a detailed critique of U.S. media outlets, and brainstorms about where al-Qaida might focus its press efforts:

As for the neutrality of CNN in English, it seems to be in cooperation with the government more than the others (except Fox News of course). Its Arabic version brings good and detailed reports about al-Sahab releases, with a lot of quotations from the original text. That means they copy directly from the releases or its gist. It is not like what other channels and sites do, copying from news agencies like Reuters, AP and others.

Sounds like they are admitting Fox News is the only one that isn’t afraid to report them as they really are.

Anyone else notice Progressives and Terrorists share a common world view and agenda?

I heard on the radio yesterday that, in Osama Bin Laden’s Diary, He praised MSNBC and said he liked Keith Olberman the best.

Now we hear that Al Qaida hates FOX NEWS.

LOL.

Not a big shock. Liberals are totalitarians. Islamic terrorists are totalitarians. Fox News offers a (slightly) more conservative worldview than any other network, broadcast or cable. Hence, both leftists and Islamic terrorists hate it.

Did they release any love letters?

To my third wife,
You smell like fermented olives and figs
and your look are mixure of a camel and a pig.
How did I get so lucky!
Allah has blessed me.

PS Chris Mathews gives me a thrill up my leg.
Sincerely,
Mo

I’ll be the first tin-foil hat wearer:

How have FOX’s ratings been lately? How are we where we are without every LSM outlet being complicit?
