Entry: Daily Mirror: Bush Targeted Al-Jazeera Nov 22, 2005



Bush wanted to blow up Al-Jazeera, the British press is reporting.

The unfortunate part is that administration officials are denying the charge.

FromDiscoverTheNetwork:

  • Arabic television station and satellite network launched in 1996, funded by Emir of Qatar
  • Known as the "CNN of the Arab world" and "Jihad TV," it claims to have 50 million viewers
  • 9-11 terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden's outlet for video messages
  • Its Spanish reporter was arrested for terrorist ties to bin Laden's Al Qaeda
  • At least two of its Iraqi reporters and one executive had secret connections with, and apparently worked for, Saddam Hussein's intelligence service
  • Praised Democratic candidate John Kerry and did positive reporting from 2004 Democratic National Convention
  • Gave airtime to racist David Duke to claim that Jews knew in advance of 9-11 attack on World Trade Center and stayed away
  • Described Islamist suicide-homocide bombers in Israel as "martyrs"
  • What would be wrong with attacking an anti-American propaganda-mouthpeice that feeds Arab hatred of the United States?
