Al Jazeera Opens 'Propaganda Front on U.S. Shores'

"The Islamification of America marches forward..."

Exerts:

.....Imagine if at the height of the cold war the Soviet Union's state run media Pravda had access to over 50 million American homes.........The outrage would have been palpable. .....Often trying to package itself as a legitimate global news service which adheres to Western standards of journalism, the reality is that Al Jazeera Media Group is wholly owned and operated by the government of Qatar and the royal family of the House of Thani.

Make no mistake. Regardless of the veneer of the product produced today on its Al Jazeera America brand,..... the total business model and ideological force of Al Jazeera Media Group is not compatible with liberal democracy and in fact is at odds with our Constitution and our national security.

Qatar hosts the world's only foreign office of the militant Islamist Taliban and has just recently pledged $400 million to the militants of Hamas. Elliott Abrams of the Council on Foreign Relations recently pointed out that "Qatar is no model for human rights, much less democracy."

Qatar, which has deep problems with forced labor and human trafficking among many other human rights violations described by Human Rights Watch will be writing the paychecks of its American reporters and those who begin to give them advertising space.

U.S. 'Senator's Husband' Point Man in Bringing Al-Jazeera to America....

'David Blum', Sen. Dianne Feinstein's husband and a Current TV boardmember, not only 'profited from the sale' of the cable network to Al-Jazeera, but it seems 'he was the pointman'.

..... a US senator's spouse assisted in enabling the propaganda arm of a repressive dictatorship to gain access to US audiences.

Not only that, but the Senator's family coffers now slosh with new dictatorship monies. How can that possibly be in the best interest of the Constitution that the Senator has sworn to uphold?
