CNN Anchor Joins Al-Jazeera |
There's often not much difference...

Why I'm Joining Al Jazeera
By RIZ KHAN (Senior Anchor with CNN International)
I began as a journalist with the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Getting a radio or television reporter's job at the BBC was considered
a remarkable achievement in the 1980s, when there was little else
around of such stature. CNN was then a young network orbiting its way
through the uncharted space of global satellite television news with
no other challenger, until the BBC's long overdue World Service
Television News in November 1991. I was the newsreader (anchor) on the
very first show on that channel and even then, I didn't really grasp
what was happening to the television news industry at a global level.
I was enjoying it. It was great fun and a great team.
My eight years at "Auntie" as we called her, came to an end in May
1993 when I was lured away by CNN International -- which recognizing
the competition it now faced, was revamping and "internationalizing"
with diverse recruits.
I spent eight years at CNN as well, working mostly out of the
headquarters in Atlanta. It was a fantastic experience with a learning
curve that pushed my development beyond all expectations, but the pace
was incredibly tough and I left to set up my own company in May 2001
to take on more diverse projects such as documentaries, writing and
public speaking.
For more than a decade, both the BBC and CNN ruled the sphere of
international news -- and I was one of the few lucky enough to work
extensively for both of them during that time. Then, in the mid-'90s
came a TV upstart from Qatar, a tiny country in the Gulf. Few channels
have raised temperatures the way Al Jazeera has in both the West and
the Middle East.
Only one problem . . . no one outside the Arab-speaking world
understands it.
Consistently, I listened to Middle Easterners complain about how they
felt Western networks had sold out on the way they covered the news,
particularly in Afghanistan and Iraq. They felt that Al Jazeera was
filling the gap.
I'm fully aware of the negative image of the Al Jazeera brand in the
U.S., especially at the government level, but I think part of that
comes from a misunderstanding of the strong cultural position the
Arabic-language channel has among the average people of the Middle
East.
Until now, U.S. administration-led efforts to promote a positive image
of Americans to people in the Middle East appear to have failed
miserably. Al Jazeera International plans to be an open platform for
global debate and dialogue. It will effectively become the best
conduit the U.S. has to speak to the Arab world, and vice versa. Plus,
the debate will be free and open.
It has to be pointed out that the Al Jazeera International team of
experienced, highly respected and committed journalists is diverse --
with no specific agenda except to report the news courageously with
facts and figures... to bring the pieces together to give a complete
picture. The whole story.

Al-Jazeera allegations
By Ian Williams
Documents have come to light which suggest three Al Jazeera employees
in Baghdad were also working for Saddam Hussein's regime.
The files keep coming. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi intelligence
agency documents are now in the hands of the CIA and Iraqi opposition
groups, who've collected them from ministries across Baghdad.
Though most are still under CIA control, their contents are beginning
to emerge: The latest, the secret police files on Al Jazeera, the Arab
satellite news channel, described by the Iraqis as "a mobilised
instrument of our propaganda". The Files boast of what they call
"close cooperation" with Al Jazeera executives.

Mohammed Jassem al-Ali had held the top job at the controversial

Any Credibility that Al Jazeera may have had before today has been
smashed. Today a demonstration was to be held to demand the release of
an Imam who was a close personal friend of Saddam and used his Mosque
to store weapons and as a Refuge for Baath Party members. The
Demonstration was to be broadcast live on the Arab News Network and
they wanted to get real exclusive News. They wanted Americans to fire
on the crowds. In order to ensure that we would, they PAID people to
carry weapons in the crowd and to fire them at us in order to provoke
a Violent Response from US troops.
Thing is, this isn't the first time Al Jazeera has PAID for the
spreading of Anti-American Sentiments in this country or even this
city. And these [Iraqi] people are so desperate for money right now
that they will do anything for it. A little boy who used to hang out
at the Gate of the Civilian/Miltary Operations Center (C-MOC) and has
since we occupied the building was given money and photos of Saddam
Hussein and told to run through the streets shouting Anti-American
slogans. Now, this boy had until that day been at the C-MOC every day,
hanging out with American Soldiers who treated him pretty well. When
stopped by us and asked why he was shouting such things, he replied
that two men had paid him to do so.
The two men turned out to be Al Jazeera correspondents.

Al-Jazeera cameraman, driver accused of having knowledge of Iraqi
blasts
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Coalition forces in Iraq have detained
two Al-Jazeera employees on allegations they had prior knowledge of a
car bombing in Baghdad, the editor of the Arab satellite station said
Tuesday.
Coalition military officials in Baghdad said they understood some
journalists had been detained but had no details.
Al-Jazeera editor Ibrahim Hilal told The Associated Press that U.S.
soldiers had detained Iraqi cameraman Samer Hamza and a driver while
they were covering an explosion at a police station in western Baghdad
that was the site of one of several car bombings Monday that killed
some three dozen people and injured more than 200. Another of Monday's
bombings hit the Baghdad offices of the International Committee of the
Red Cross.
Hilal said the Al-Jazeera staffers were held on allegations they had
known of the attack before it took place.

He also constantly floods servers with forged cancelbots, which are seldom honored thank good ness, but he and his muslim al jazeera buds are also constantly launching dos attacks against the most used re mailer isp's, where anyone using them disagrees with bokma, the far left, and their blood thirsty " islamic jihad ."
Bokma 's even posted death threats to some american right winger named " min ," who 's smart enough to post anonymously, but we've seen several of the re mailers that min uses recently go down, which means to me that al jazeera and their extremist liberal friends are behind much of the internet censorship that's going on.
There 's a lot of talk about " google " censoring content in favor of the liberals and al jazeera, and it's probably true, since they are attacking and censoring the internet, and the use net, like they 'd declared war against our right to free speech.

As for the aforementioned, the line in the sand has
been clearly drawn. *NO* fenceriders out there, not
anywhere on Earth. Even France--the founding father
of socio-political fencesitting--has sided with the
terrorists against the USA and our loyal allies. It
is no-holds-barred warfare, meaning that we can use
ANY and ALL tactics at our disposal to hunt down and
destroy Al-Qaeda, Al-Jazeera & their DNC supporters,
irrespective of who they are. ANYONE who is actively
or even indirectly supporting the terrorists is fair
game and it's open season: Let's KILL the terrorists!
Beyond just boycotting Anti-American, DNC-supporting
liberals and companies (individually and altogether)
across-the-board, feel free to get the FBI, CIA, HLS,
NSA et al US Federal agencies involved with our hunt
for these genocidal terrorist animals. Remember, our
Republican Party is the law-abiding tax-paying party;
unlike the loser liberal Democrats whose voting base
is concentrated predominantly in those big city high-
crime 'blue' counties, where the majority of violent
criminals live and commit their hideously evil deeds.
(That's the kind of vermin who voted for Hanoi John.)
Realize, the *ONLY* advantage that liberal Democrats
enjoy over us Republicans is that liberals routinely
break the law 24/7/365. This is why we MUST continue
to defeat them in the US supreme and appellate courts,
so that federal laws will ALWAYS favor conservatives
and our strong family-values agenda, and will ALWAYS
punish liberals and completely undermine *everything*
they stand for. And as everyone can plainly see, that
is EXACTLY what's happening right now on Capitol Hill:
We're beating the *Hell* out of the liberal Democrats
fair and square...all nice and neat...all by the book.
Also, the recent official approval and sanctioning of
pedophilia granted in the notoriously left-wing Santa
Barbara County courtroom to *criminal* child molester
Michael Jackson, that should come as NO surprise since
Santa Barbara County is among the 'bluest' counties in
California, and everybody knows that liberals actively
support ACLU/NAMBLA pedophiles, and condone kidnapping,
torturing, raping and murdering innocent young children.
So as far as liberals are concerned, Jackson is a SAINT,
since liberals defend pedophiles & genocidal terrorists,
and in their minds, they're just getting some "modicum"
of revenge for LOSING the most important election EVER!
As for newsgroup death threats, I've received literally
HUNDREDS of death threats since I began posting articles
and replies (beginning back in March of 1998) to popular
newsgroups...I'm STILL here, and I'm STILL writing, and
I'm STILL posting! But as for enemy combatants, whether
they be arrested here in the USA or abroad, *time* will
tell who's who and what's what. Personally, I wouldn't
give a plug nickel for that anti-freespeech animal you
mentioned as it's bitten off WAY more than it can chew.
It's a left-wing liberal *DNC*/Google-promoting shill,
so it's no wonder that it's trying to forestall its <>.
Buy RED! Boycott BLUE! And *Trigger* the NUCLEAR Option!

I hope no one is surprised that this paparazzi decided to join the
principal propaganda organ of the terrorists. The American paparazzi
has long advocated the neo Nazi agenda of the radiclib demirats. A
Gallup poll clearly shows the American public knows all too well that
the paparazzi are trying to destroy our way of life as much as the
terrorists. They hate our way of life as much as the terrorists do.
They fully support the radiclib rats agenda of turning America into a
neoBolshevk state. This poll shows that 48% of the people know the
paparazzi has a strong leftist liberal bias, and only 44% have any
confidence in their veracity.
http://www.pollingreport.com/media.htm
News Media / Communications
We all know about Rathergate where what was once the most respected
voice in the paparazzi TV press blindly accepted forged documents in a
desperate offer to poison the American people against President George
Bush II. He has yet to admit he made this blunder. That leaves one
wondering how many times in the past he did such things to promote his
own radiclib neoBolshevik agenda.
We all also know about Newsweek's false story about the supposed
mistreatment of the Muslim book. They claim it was accidental. Sure,
like Rather's was an accident. The editor in charge of approving that
story didn't check the facts of the obviously neoCommunist reporter.
Sure Newsweek apologized, but who was fired for causing the loss of
lives in Afghanistan? No one. Why weren't they fired for incompetence?
Because they were attempting to further the radiclibs agenda of turning
America into a neoSoviet state.

Why I'm Joining Al Jazeera
By RIZ KHAN (Senior Anchor with CNN International)
I began as a journalist with the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Getting a radio or television reporter's job at the BBC was considered
a remarkable achievement in the 1980s, when there was little else
around of such stature. CNN was then a young network orbiting its way
through the uncharted space of global satellite television news with
no other challenger, until the BBC's long overdue World Service
Television News in November 1991. I was the newsreader (anchor) on the
very first show on that channel and even then, I didn't really grasp
what was happening to the television news industry at a global level.
I was enjoying it. It was great fun and a great team.
My eight years at "Auntie" as we called her, came to an end in May
1993 when I was lured away by CNN International -- which recognizing
the competition it now faced, was revamping and "internationalizing"
with diverse recruits.
I spent eight years at CNN as well, working mostly out of the
headquarters in Atlanta. It was a fantastic experience with a learning
curve that pushed my development beyond all expectations, but the pace
was incredibly tough and I left to set up my own company in May 2001
to take on more diverse projects such as documentaries, writing and
public speaking.
For more than a decade, both the BBC and CNN ruled the sphere of
international news -- and I was one of the few lucky enough to work
extensively for both of them during that time. Then, in the mid-'90s
came a TV upstart from Qatar, a tiny country in the Gulf. Few channels
have raised temperatures the way Al Jazeera has in both the West and
the Middle East.
Only one problem . . . no one outside the Arab-speaking world
understands it.
Consistently, I listened to Middle Easterners complain about how they
felt Western networks had sold out on the way they covered the news,
particularly in Afghanistan and Iraq. They felt that Al Jazeera was
filling the gap.
I'm fully aware of the negative image of the Al Jazeera brand in the
U.S., especially at the government level, but I think part of that
comes from a misunderstanding of the strong cultural position the
Arabic-language channel has among the average people of the Middle
East.
Until now, U.S. administration-led efforts to promote a positive image
of Americans to people in the Middle East appear to have failed
miserably. Al Jazeera International plans to be an open platform for
global debate and dialogue. It will effectively become the best
conduit the U.S. has to speak to the Arab world, and vice versa. Plus,
the debate will be free and open.
It has to be pointed out that the Al Jazeera International team of
experienced, highly respected and committed journalists is diverse --
with no specific agenda except to report the news courageously with
facts and figures... to bring the pieces together to give a complete
picture. The whole story.

Al-Jazeera allegations
By Ian Williams
Documents have come to light which suggest three Al Jazeera employees
in Baghdad were also working for Saddam Hussein's regime.
The files keep coming. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi intelligence
agency documents are now in the hands of the CIA and Iraqi opposition
groups, who've collected them from ministries across Baghdad.
Though most are still under CIA control, their contents are beginning
to emerge: The latest, the secret police files on Al Jazeera, the Arab
satellite news channel, described by the Iraqis as "a mobilised
instrument of our propaganda". The Files boast of what they call
"close cooperation" with Al Jazeera executives.

Al-Jazeera director general 'sacked'
By AFP in DOHA
The director general of Al-Jazeera has been sacked, Qatari sources
said, amid allegations that he worked with Saddam Hussein's
intelligence services.
Mohammed Jassem al-Ali had held the top job at the controversial
Doha-based Arab satellite television station since it launched in
1996.
A replacement was expected to be announced shortly, the Qatari sources
said.

Any Credibility that Al Jazeera may have had before today has been
smashed. Today a demonstration was to be held to demand the release of
an Imam who was a close personal friend of Saddam and used his Mosque
to store weapons and as a Refuge for Baath Party members. The
Demonstration was to be broadcast live on the Arab News Network and
they wanted to get real exclusive News. They wanted Americans to fire
on the crowds. In order to ensure that we would, they PAID people to
carry weapons in the crowd and to fire them at us in order to provoke
a Violent Response from US troops.
Thing is, this isn't the first time Al Jazeera has PAID for the
spreading of Anti-American Sentiments in this country or even this
city. And these [Iraqi] people are so desperate for money right now
that they will do anything for it. A little boy who used to hang out
at the Gate of the Civilian/Miltary Operations Center (C-MOC) and has
since we occupied the building was given money and photos of Saddam
Hussein and told to run through the streets shouting Anti-American
slogans. Now, this boy had until that day been at the C-MOC every day,
hanging out with American Soldiers who treated him pretty well. When
stopped by us and asked why he was shouting such things, he replied
that two men had paid him to do so.
The two men turned out to be Al Jazeera correspondents.
Nothing like making your own news, eh?

Al-Jazeera cameraman, driver accused of having knowledge of Iraqi
blasts
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Coalition forces in Iraq have detained
two Al-Jazeera employees on allegations they had prior knowledge of a
car bombing in Baghdad, the editor of the Arab satellite station said
Tuesday.
Coalition military officials in Baghdad said they understood some
journalists had been detained but had no details.
Al-Jazeera editor Ibrahim Hilal told The Associated Press that U.S.
soldiers had detained Iraqi cameraman Samer Hamza and a driver while
they were covering an explosion at a police station in western Baghdad
that was the site of one of several car bombings Monday that killed
some three dozen people and injured more than 200. Another of Monday's
bombings hit the Baghdad offices of the International Committee of the
Red Cross.
Hilal said the Al-Jazeera staffers were held on allegations they had
known of the attack before it took place.

"I hope no one is surprised that this paparazzi decided to join the
principal propaganda organ of the terrorists."
If Al-Jazeera is a "propaganda organ," then what is your take on Fox
News?

Al Jazeera, which I read on the web regularly and watch the English
language broadcast of, is a rather misunderstood media outlet.
Firstly it is the very best source of informaiton on the Islamic world
period.
Secondly, all media outlet show something of the bias of their
audiences. US news programs seems like idiotic propoganda when viewed
from the outside. For example how much time is the US media spending
on the fact that we now know that Bush decided on the war first and
then made up the WMD claims? Much less then the Jackson trial.
Frankly if you want to kow what is going on in the greater Islamic
world you have 3 options, you can watch western media and know
somethings, like BBC or the French media (if you can read French), you
can watch American media and learn about Jackson, or you can watch Al
Jazeera and get some information.

Lie.

Because it is a false accusation, DOH.

So a lie is better than nothing, how liberal.

I'll defer to your greater knowledge about Al Jazeera, but I doubt that
the reports of the extensive coverage given to the beheadings of
western businessmen is exagerated.

Which is kinda like getting the highest score on an IQ test
from a group of retarded people.

That's because we don't know that. Just some people who don't
like Bush claim that.
