Al Jazeera Targets America
http://www.aim.org ^ | August 19, 2013 | Cliff Kincaid

Anti-Al Jazeera posters have recently appeared in Egypt saying, “A bullet kills a man, a lying camera kills a nation.” This attitude led to the new government closing the channel, after 22 staffers quit in disgust over its pro-Muslim Brotherhood bias.

Al Jazeera is the voice of the Muslim Brotherhood, the group now laying siege to Egypt and burning Christian churches there.

On Sunday, CNN’s media criticism show “Reliable Sources” featured a discussion of the launch of Al Jazeera America. While Egyptian Christian churches burn because of what the channel has done there, Al Jazeera America was given a warm welcome not only by the American media, but also by the Congress of the United States. This show was no exception.

A good guest would have been Raymond Ibrahim, author of Crucified Again: Exposing Islam’s New War on Christians (2013) and The Al Qaeda Reader (2007). He told AIM, “One thing I can tell: concerning events in Egypt, Al Jazeera has willfully been manipulating truth to the favor of the Brotherhood—even sometimes portraying the very large masses of anti-Morsi protesters as pro-Morsi protesters, and lots of other distortions that violate any code of journalistic [ethics].”

Instead, CNN’s “Reliable Sources” guest host Joanne Lipman invited Michael Calderone of The Huffington Post and Edward Felsenthal of Time.com to discuss the channel. They never once mentioned the words “Muslim Brotherhood.”

John Siegenthaler, David Shuster, Soledad O’Brien, Antonio Mora, Joie Chen, Michael Viqueira and Ali Velshi are among the media personalities accepting money from the channel once known as the voice of Osama bin Laden.

One of the most blatant examples of media manipulation, in order to mask the channel’s terrorist roots, is adding “America” to its name...

And Jazeera Al Gore further enriched himself with his sale of the worthless Current TV to the same owner.

Yeah they will. My main issue is the self promotion from the idiots on the left of the channel, while even the right ignores One America News. Good thing is it gives the channel time to improve. But you can tell which one the media wants to win. Allen West was on Rick Amato’s show so slowly the channel will keep improving. I am sure Fox News doesn’t want competition on the right. Well bring it on I say.

I agree! Add MSNBC, CNN, HLN, NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, BRAVO, OXYGEN, and on-and-on to the list.

Cut the cable!

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Starve the beast.
