Why aren't journalists over the world incensed about the AlJazeera memo?
I mean, shouldn't all journalists be calling for an investigation as to the veracity of the memo or the allegation. It's Aljazeera this time, which journalists might it be next time? The circumstantial evidence is onerous. We shelled them twice and killed one of their journalists citing "accident." To me, this seems to be a major big deal when foreign journalists become targets of war because the most powerful nation on earth doesn't like what they print, even though they are a creditable as the NYT or WSJ.

7. If you are only "thinking" what they are, do some research and find out
about them. They have archives of stories to research. Check out their truth level against, say, the NYT or any other American media.

13. You would think?
Have you seen/heard any of their broadcasts? Visit their website to compare their articles? You should, then make a decision that you know is correctly based upon your experience.

Please do, and I will respect your opinion, whatever it may be.

"muslims fox news"

Conjures up some amusing images for me. :) Something more like fox News might be found in Indonesia, I'll have to look into it.

Peace

8. They didn't care about their fellow journalists being executed by the US
in Iraq and Afghanistan either, very weird. It was quite blatant too.
