Al-Jazeera at GOP Convention?
Self ^ | 07/26/04 | GRRRRR

Posted on 07/26/2004 4:05:39 PM PDT by GRRRRR

SHOULD THE RNC provide credentials to the Al-jazeera media network?

The DNC evidently "needed" the space under their booth to post a "DNC SIGN" and Al-jazeera complied...

I don't think I want Al-jazeera attending the GOP Convention. It's a matter of trust, they are NOT our friends and just the mere appearance of their microphone etc on the floor implies some sort of tacit acceptance of their terrible spin tactics of our Iraqi war.

Yeah, I suppose you could say the same about ABCCBSNBCCNNPMSMBC etc., they are also our enemies in America, however, at least they are "our" enemies.

If you feel so inclined, let's let the GOP that we don't think Al-jazeera is "mature" enough to be in the house with the ADULTS!!

No - boot them. While America is watching. They are in league with Al Queda.

The fact that they were there at all says it all. Someone high up approved them to be there. Who? Let me guess, Terry McCauliff. Now, who made the decision to throw them out?

This is going to be a big story in itself.

Sorry, I misread the headline. What I was trying to say is I am shocked that the DNC had them. RNC? No way.

has anyone else wondered how the hell al-jazeera always anonimously recieves terror threats to only its station first and foremost. Do the terrorists have their own drop box at Al-Jazeera?

Now, now.

It's a religion of peace, don't you know.

Besides, even if they don't participate directly, they'll still have their hand-puppets there (Dan Rather, Peter Jennings, etc., etc.)

I don't have a problem for them to cover the event, as long as they don't get a big skybox.

Let them in and boot them with a few more choice media outlets at the same precise time, prime time on the first day.

I don't have a problem with 'em there -- but they've got no business with a skybox or any huge signage.
