AJ is slanted. So what? I watch CNN, et al; they're slanted, too.



Interesting relativism. CNN and the BBC are left-leaning, and Fox is right-leaning - however - none of them are a dedicated outlet for violent extremists. In fact, Al-Jazeera was the only foreign broadcaster permitted in the Taliban's Afghanistan before it was toppled. Since then, they have become the preferred forum for the dissemination of recorded media released by Osama or Zawahiri. Is it a coincidence that murderous Islamic terrorists have maintained intimate links with AJ over the years? No.


Even Reuters - which famously declared "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" while bodies were still being scavenged from the WTC rubble - hasn't gained such friendly status with Al-Qaeda. If Al-Qaeda wanted a "neutral" outlet to broadcast their tapes, why not Reuters? Because they don't want neutrality - they want propaganda. Hence why I unapologetically call AJ "Al-Qaeda's Propaganda Ministry".

Now, as for this "Marine" who chooses to propagandize on behalf of a Al-Qaeda's preferred network? Here's a quote.

'In a time when American media has become so nationalised, I'm excited about joining an organisation that truly wants to be a source of global information," Josh said. "I witnessed during the war how the U.S. media was co-opted by the U.S. government's messaging. I am proud to be part of a news network that believes in the power of the un-spun truth."



He sounds like John Walker Lindh with a laptop to me...
