I AM NOT CHARLIE: Leaked Newsroom Emails Reveal Al Jazeera Fury Over Global Support For Charlie Hebdo By Brendan Bordelon January 9, 2015
As journalists worldwide reacted with universal revulsion at the massacre of some of their own by Islamic jihadists in Paris, Al Jazeera English editor and executive producer Salah-Aldeen Khadr sent out a staff-wide email.
Please accept this note in the spirit it is intended to make our coverage the best it can be, the London-based Khadr wrote Thursday, in the first of a series of internal emails leaked to National Review Online. We are Al Jazeera!
Below was a list of suggestions for how anchors and correspondents at the Qatar-based news outlet should cover Wednesdays slaughter at the Charlie Hebdo office (the full emails can be found below).
Khadr urged his employees to ask if this was really an attack on free speech, discuss whether I am Charlie is an alienating slogan, caution viewers against making this a free speech aka European Values under attack binary [sic], and portray the attack as a clash of extremist fringes.
Defending freedom of expression in the face of oppression is one thing; insisting on the right to be obnoxious and offensive just because you can is infantile, Khadr wrote. Baiting extremists isnt bravely defiant when your manner of doing so is more significant in offending millions of moderate people as well. And within a climate where violent responsehowever illegitimate [sic]is a real risk, taking a goading stand on a principle virtually no one contests is worse than pointless: its pointlessly all about you.

Did anybody really expect anything different?

“I am Charlie is an alienating slogan”
Je suis Charlie Martel.
How’s THAT for an “alienating slogan”?
Heh, Good one, Van.
>>Defending freedom of expression in the face of oppression is one thing; insisting on the right to be obnoxious and offensive just because you can is infantile<<
Someone should email him that many are FREE TO BE INFANTILE! Also, infantile is in the eye of the beholder and throwing a tantrum because your guys are getting called out as the evil scum they are is as infantile as it gets.
And yet, AJ has a campaign to get their folks freed from Egypt, calling them ‘journalists’...
Charles Martel wasn’t harsh enough.
I’m more of a Vlad the Impaler kind of guy.
I am offended by the the sight of muslims. I am offended by Hijabs, Burkas, and mosques, I am offended by the minarets. I am offended by the images of the actions of every muslim. I am offended by their very existence.
I want every muslim dead, or converted to Christianity.
ahaha I HEARD that!
I’m offended by so very much these days that to begin a list here would be inappropriately screed like....
I find islam REPUGNANT.
We know who you are...
We need T-Shirts... and croquet bats.
.
France should take these dead “martyrs” bodies out in the public square and shoot a pig, douse their bodies in pig blood and wrap them in the hyde for burial. Would make a lot of other martyr wannabes reconsider.
I would have to lengthen my tagline too much to make it very useful..but Id love to add a bunch of “thoughts” In German.....for the Mooselim Trolls..
Ich liebe Schweinefleisch
sind Sie beleidigt ?
das ist zu stinkend schlecht
Yeah like skin his victims alive and impaly them
BTW there was good docuemtnary came out on Smitheron channel when first came on Vlad the Impaler was first Ortdhrox Christian ruler of that part of Europe
So glad this was leaked.
Go a step further: grind up the bodies, feed them to pigs, bury the pig shit in the graves.
