Al-Jazeera, the Arab news network the Bush administration says is a tool of al-Qaeda, will launch Wednesday its English version, which will be available in 70 million households worldwide.....Dave Marash, a former ABC Nightline correspondent who'll co-anchor a daily newscast, says Al-Jazeera got a black eye from the Bush administration for airing Osama bin Laden videotapes and live reports from Fallujah, Iraq.
Al-Jazeera reported news in both cases, he says, and its journalistic "aspirations, tactics and techniques" are like those of any mainstream news outlet. "No holds barred, political ideology, party affiliation. When people actually see the product, I think a lot of that (criticism) is going to go away."
Oh yea, no ideology or party affiliation? That's right, we don't belong to party, we just hate America first, last, always and with a zeal you won't find on CNN. Maybe that should be their new tag line.
"Al-Jazeera English, we hate America, first, last and always" or
"Al-Jazeera English, free press paid for by the Emir of Qatar" or
"Al-Jazrrea English, Jews and Christians need not apply"
