The Media As The Enemy

Al Jazeera has once again found that the reporters in its employ are working with the very terrorists that they're covering. Not surprising.
Al-Jazeera's reporter in Spain, Tayseer Alluni has just been sentenced to seven years in jail after a Madrid court found him guilty of joining a terror cell and facilitating money laundry.

This is bad news for Al-jazeera who's been defending and campaigning to protect their reporter and they obviously failed in eluding justice but the question that we must think about is; was Alluni working on his own using his media credentials as a cover or could it be that Al-jazeera itself is involved?

It seems that twisting facts, biased coverage and supporting the terrorists morally aren't giving some media networks enough satisfaction so they began to give the terrorists a hand, practically I mean.

This is not the first time where reporters and camera men are found to have connections with terrorists so it is definitely time to start questioning the networks themselves and the people in charge of choosing reporters and sending them to join terror networks, sorry! I mean to report the truth!
The problem is that they aren't doing anything about it. And I suspect that the other media outlets don't have a problem with this relationship either. Not the least of which is because the other media outlets love running the kind of pieces (movies, photos, stories) that reporters embedded with terrorists can get.

So, when the usual suspects in the media complain that the US is specifically targeting journalists, keep this in mind. The US might actually be targeting the terrorist sitting next to the journalist reporting on the terrorist's exploits. That means you Eason Jordan and all the other toadys who think that getting the story means collaborating with terrorists, but not reporting what the US is doing right.
