AL JAZEERA EXODUS

There is a reported exodus of journalists at Al Jazeera[1], due to the bias Al Jazeera is showing against the Syrian government. The resignation of one journalist is described thus.

"You can check the emails he sent to his colleague, Rula Ibrahim, to know his position which changed after the station refused to show photos he had taken of armed fighters clashing with the Syrian Army in Wadi Khaled. Instead [Al Jazeera] lambasted him as a shabeeh [implying a regime loyalist],” the source said.

So why would Al Jazeera be so biased?

Al Jazeera is just the old BBC Arabic, i.e. the MI6 media outlet for the Muslim world. BBC Arabic was shut down in April 1996 by Saudi Arabia, and Al Jazeera was launched just six months later in November 1996 in Qatar, and its employees were from...ooopsadaisy! BBC Arabic. The sordid story of the creation of Al Jazeera can be found in a recent expose by EIR[2].
