interesting enough, I always thought Aj took a pretty clear anti-chavez stance in their editorial coverage, as well

BYW, I'm not a fan of chavez.

what AJ does is a dance of trying to gain credibilty on vanilla subjects, so they move their agenda under the cloak of looking objective,,,,, like the ole " we dont hate Jews we hate Zionists"...

They support Chavez , they see him as one of the axis against the USA.

again this was the station that UBL used

in the five years I've been watching AJ I have never seen anything that I thought was overtly antisemitic, and wouldn't even describe their editorial content that I think is biased as anti-zionist. From my reading, they tend to favor a 2 state solution

Again, from my reading, they always seemed overly critical

Its all we documented the anti Israel and anti America programming..

your thimble overflows with ignorance...

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is pulling out all the stops in his bid to crush opposition to his authoritarian rule in the election scheduled for October 7. Chavez is seeking to discredit challenger Henrique Capriles Radonski by pointing out his Jewish roots. Chavez has sought to intimidate Venezuelan Jews in the past as a result of the close ties he has fostered with Iran and Hezbollah and his virulent hostility to Israel. But his attacks on the leader of the opposition have escalated the latent Jew-hatred of his regime.

As the Jerusalem Post reports, a study conducted by Tel Aviv University shows that the Caracas government has produced a steady stream of vilification of Capriles that centers on his Jewish roots. Capriles is a Catholic but he is the grandson of Holocaust survivors and many of his mother’s family perished at the hands of the Nazis.

“This is done in a variety of methods, such as defamation, intimidation and conspiracy theories, many of which portray Capriles as a Zionist agent, and by mixing classic and neo-anti-Semitism,” said the report, authored by Lidia Lerner, an expert on Latin America. “A Capriles victory, it is claimed, will inevitably lead to Zionist infiltration.” …

Op-Eds warning of a “Zionist takeover” if Capriles wins repeatedly have appeared in government-controlled media since Radonski’s candidacy was announced in February, the report said. He also has been the subject of anti-Semitic cartoons.


The Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Anti-Defamation League have expressed concern about the government’s attempt to whip up Jew hatred. The Huffington Post reported in May that Chavez’s allies have compounded the vilification by trying to float the rumor that Capriles is gay as well as Jewish. snip...

Re: AJE Buys Current TV To Create New American Network

Al Jazeera English has bought Al Gore's Current TV station in hope of creating an Al Jazeera America network.

OK, I see problem right there with the name.

Article on AJE Here I see this a step in the right direction for AJE as they can have a foothold in American media.

Absolutely. Once it overcomes the name problem.
 
I wouldn't agree that was overtly antisemitic. Though it'a not a view I share, either

Yeah, well, it's such a fkd up point of view, so illegitimate, as to constitute a flat-out troll; thus, such is banned from the mideast section of this forum under martial law. I'm goin' with the house (and my investigation) on this one, and not your opinion.

Low-info people find anything plausible.

Now here's what I'm talking about with the name. When the station is called something like Al Jazeera America, Americans like Travis007 will automatically assume it's all about anti-Semitism and pro-terrorism since they believe all Muslims and all Muslim-sounding terms relate to terrorism that is bad.

So what Al Jazeera needs to do is rename their American station to something like The Conservative American News Network. Then, when people like Travis007 watch it, they will watch it with joy believing that it tells them what is real because the station name doesn't sound Muslim.
 
Youre in another world...your verbage shows me you are an agenda driven anti american...go run your BS to others that buy crap..

enjoy the muslims that will over run your country...your country couldnt save a fly..

tell me about oil for food.. tell me about the run up to the UN approved accces to the WMDS Saddam had, blustered he had and would use again and sent into Syria.. tell me about the border between Syria and Iraq...

nah dont.. you dont have the integrity too...I laugh at your posts..they are nonsense,....

go watch you beloved Al Jihadism network and wax about how great it is..

when your country can build a car let me know..

Hope you get better soon.. can be healthy living in such a paranoid twisted world. Hope you get help.

It's not anti-semitic at all and it's also in the comment section, a space for personal opinion. The article is followed by this...
The views expressed in this article are the author's own and do not necessarily reflect Al Jazeera's editorial policy.

Now, I think we should drop this particular line of discussion as I think we're in danger of contravening ME ML rules.
 
Re: AJE Buys Current TV To Create New American Network

Absolutely. Once it overcomes the name problem.

And the Jew hate, and the US hate, and the radical Muslim apologism. Oh, and the terrorist support and the proping up of backwards dictators (the Iranian regime). As soon as they get all that right, maybe someone other than wannabe-rebel Muslims, Che t-shirts and conspiracy theory people will take them seriously.
 
Some of those deaths were probably slaughters by government forces (and let's not pretend they never did that) orchestrated and physically arranged for the purpose of propaganda.

Oh of course not, but that still means there were some (in fact quite a few) civilian deaths due to US military force.

Of course, the idea that Saddam and AlJ might not be legit has never crossed your mind?

First off.. Saddam hated Al J. They were some of the first and the most vocal opponents to his regime. That is one of the reasons the Bush administrations loved Al J in the start.

Second off.. Al J has a code of ethics that it follows quite strictly and it certainly does not like meddling by outsiders or even by the owners in its news coverage. Rumsfeldt and Bush put a lot of pressure on the Al J owners and when the owners told Al J to tone down .. the journalists basically threatened to strike.

This, of course, is aside from the basic nature of such "journalism", as the obvious purpose is not to report the news but to emotionally sway the public and encourage terrorists.

That is utter bull**** and you know it. Al J has never encouraged terrorists.. in fact they have been highly vocal against Al Q and been extremely critical (even more than Fox News) of their actions. But what they dont do, unlike Fox News, is to coat the news in bias for one or another side.. they do both sides and for the most part allow the viewer to make up their own mind.

That is why, on Al Jazeera I see Israeli representative's far more than on the BBC, CNN, NBC and what not..almost combined. They do both sides of the story and often go after the big guy for abusing the small guy. Their English station has a lot of investigative journalism where they go after major companies, Putin, Chavez, Castro, Obama, and pretty much every major power on the planet for their abuses and wrong doings. That is what real journalism is about.

You thought those images of the "truth" were very important, didn't you?

You mean like the images of a US attack helicopter butchering Iraq citizens? Yes they are very important! Exposing such acts is just as important as exposing a terrorist cell or showing the aftermath of a terrorist attack. But I guess you have no problem that US troops butcher an Iraqi family in a car... they are only ragheads right?

As I said, I see their editorial content as pretty biased against Israel, but many people do hold that position, and some can even offer a cursory defense of it. So it's not something that should swept under the rug and "banned" from discussion.

You're wrong and your low-information on this is showing. Are you a Muslim?

Oh, please. Your bias is showing. Are you a Muslim?

Perhaps you're confusing "not blindly adoring of Israel" with "biased against Israel."

If it were any two other countries and any two other ethnic groups, we'd be calling the situation in the Gaza strip apartheid.
