"All media outlets had to provide the US military with their locations in Baghdad and neighboring cities. Al-Jazeera provided the location of its Baghdad office to Washington prior to the bombing on its Baghdad office."
I heard that Al Jazeera also agreed to the US request to paint a giant X on their roof. Even smart bombs need help sometimes.
Its obvious to all these yanks are just coming on guppshup to timewaste and chat BS ignore there foolishness and let them carry on taking their daily fix of crack!
so al jazeera is to midle east what fox news is to US
the only thing that makes you wonder is that al jazeera was lauded as a beacon of free speech and democracy until what it started saying did not suit our interests anymore
anyways jazeera is a pile of rubbish just like fox news, and heck lets shut both of them down..no reaosn to pollute the minds of idiots all over who watch the garbage from these channels.
Exactly. just like when US says they push for democracy…until it doesn’t suit them. History is full of the US propping up various dictators.
Ohio-I asked if you have watched Al-Jazzeera. There is a huge difference.just as reading Fox News website does not give a true feeling for the bias of the channel.
Anyways the answer is you haven’t watched it and are basing your strong opinions on what others tell you…well done!:k:
The issue here isnt if al jazeera is full of propaganda (not that you guys would know really) or not, it may as well be, but thats beside the point. Planning to bomb a media station deliberately is down right pathetic. As are ofcourse those who are trying to justify it for whatever reason. This isnt an al-jazeera report that yer all harping on about, its an actual memo from your President fgs.
og, i guess thinking is not really one of your strong points eh. i suggest, you do us all a favour and think less next time. on humanitarian grounds if nothing else…
Ma, if you are operating under the mistaken belief that Al-Jazeera is somehow contributing to the Arab/Muslim world, you are entirely mistaken. Fanning the flames of hatred in the Middle East is irresponsible, and ultimately costs lives. The difference is that Al-Jazeera has no journalistic standards. The were the first to publish horrific videos, give a mouth piece to a terrorist, and legitimize unbelievable brutality. How many bombing, and beheadings have taken place because some deluded Muslim wants his 15 minutes of fame on Al-Jazeera? Single handedly they have lowered the face of civilization a notch.
You are having a hard time parsing the difference between legitimate, albiet bad journalism, from inflamatory propaganda. Propaganda broadcasts have always been considered legitimate targets in wartime.
But we are digressing from the topic, that being if Bush said he wanted to 'bomb Al-Jazeera’. OG, you discredited the report as poppycock but LordGoldsmith the attorney general in Britain has warned anyone who "dared to publish the actual contents of the document would be prosecuted." It seems that there is truth to this story. Your rejection of the story seems to have been done rather hastily.
