HMMM... maybe Andrea and the others MEMEing "highly respected" might want to talk to this person..

Al-Jazeera has long been suspected of lacking objectivity in its reporting of the Middle East. Now one of its most prominent journalists and director of their Beirut office, Ghassan Bin Jeddo, has resigned because of this.

According to Lebanese newspaper, As-Safir, which first broke the story yesterday, Bin Jeddo resigned in protest against Al Jazeera’s coverage of the recent uprisings throughout the Arab world, saying:

Bin Jeddo says..?
Al Jazeera has abandoned professionalism and objectivity, turning from a media source into an operation room that incites and mobilizes."

This fear was certainly omnipresent in the George W. Bush administration,especially with regard to media coverage of casualties from the wars in Iraq andAfghanistan. Not only did the Department of Defense have a strict policy banning photographs of dead American soldiers (or their coffins), but also the uninhibited andgraphic coverage of the wars by Arab media outlets, Al-Jazeera in particular, has resultedin outrage among some American policy-makers. In one sense, the Bush administration’sfears of the images were justified.

A quantitative analysis examining media consumptionin the Middle East conducted by Nisbet, Nisbet, Scheufele, and Shanahan (2004) foundthat viewers of pan-Arab satellite television channels were more likely to hold anti-American views and to be against the war in Iraq. Mohammad Ayish (2002) also foundthat sensationalism and highlights of images of casualties and consequences were prominent among Al Jazeera’s coverage of American and Israeli military efforts in theMiddle East, offering one possible explanation for the correlation between consumptionof pan-Arab media and anti-Americanism in the Middle East..

NOW for you simple folks that still cling to your cliched notion Al_Jazeera is an unbiased newsgathering like Andrea, Matt, et.all that used that MEME~~~
THEY ARE NOT UNBIASED! The spout as much venom against the USA/Israel as if they were Al-Queda themselves!!!

Maybe they don't edit videos and spin stories to support political agendas of their owners...like NBC CBS MSNBC and others. Compared to them, @aljazeera is top notch!

 

[Oldguy]

There's Al Jazeera and Al Jazeera America.

Al Jazeera America is probably the most unbiased news source I've found in a long time. The other? Well....not so much. By a damn sight.

 

[Political Junky]

I'll take Al Jazeera over Fox any day.

If you'd tear yourself away from Fox News for half a minute you'd find a whole world of news sources out there. It's best not to follow just the one, as most conservatives do.

Honestly but because you and other Fox news haters are totally blathering, juvenile IDIOTS... you believe me.. but I'm going to shout now because that maybe
the ONLY way to get your attention... I DON'T GET ME NEWS FROM FOX! I DON'T GET MY NEWS FROM ONE SOURCE!

Did any of you IDIOTS note where the above came from???
USC Doctorial DISSERTATION!!!! A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS that VERIFIED the BIAS of Al_Jazeera Network!!!

BUT if idiots like you spent just a little more time thinking and less time picking your noses, shooting paperwades at the girl in front of you, dipping her braids in the ink well you might have some independent thought!
Why don't you take it from the people that WORKED there!!!

Key staff from Al Jazeera’s Beirut Bureau have resigned citing “bias” in the channel’s stance on the conflict in Syria.
Bureau Managing Director Hassan Shaaban reportedly quit last week, after his correspondent and producer had walked out in protest.
A source told the Lebanese paper Al Akhbar that Al Jazeera’s Beirut correspondent Ali Hashem had quit over the channel’s stance on covering events in Syria. "… 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],” a source told Lebanese press.
The Beirut bureau’s producer also quit claiming Al Jazeera had totally ignored Syria’s constitutional reform referendum, which saw a 57% turnout with 90% voting for change.
This coupled with one of its most prominent journalists and director of their Beirut office, Ghassan Bin Jeddo, resignation Al Jazeera’s coverage of the recent uprisings throughout the Arab world,

You ever watch it?

I mean..over a period of several days?

It's like the BBC use to be..

NOW YOU IDIOTS proclaiming you are "watching" Al Jazeera English... READ what has happened!!!

"When it was first set up, Al Jazeera English was intended to be a softer version of its Arabic counterpart.
Since then, the situation has changed drastically, Middle East analyst Tariq Ali told RT.
“The channel I think, was largely set up to please the west and its coverage showed that very clearly. T
here were few critical programs, compared to Arabic Al Jazeera, but it seems now both are working in tandem.”

The problem for conservatives is that it is not America-centric.

It's suprisingly objective.

While that's problem sarcasm, it's pretty close to the truth.

They don't really have a spin.

Of course you won't find "unbiased" on any opinion show that features only ONE opinion. To wit: name just one MSNBC opinion show where there is an opinion opposing the White House dictated chorus Obama lackeys.

When did you ever see Chris Matthews with a Republican/conservative guest, and if you did, can you show where he let his victim utter a word without being interrupted?

When did you ever see Ed Schultz with a Republican/conservative guest, and if you did, can you show where he let his victim utter a word without being interrupted?

When did you ever see Lawrence O'Donnell with a Republican/conservative guest, and if you did, can you show where he let his victim utter a word without being interrupted?

On FOX O'Reilley, Hannity, Van Susteren always welcome guests of Democratic/progressive persuation. Sometimes opposing views are the ONLY opinions on these shows.

Fair and balanced? FOX, yes, others a resounding NO!

I can't say anything about Al Jazeera because I have not seen their broadcasts.

its also why the right hates black history being taught.

they dont want brown people to know certain things about history and the world

So to all you still infidels that believe Al-Jazeera is a unbiased objective news source consider this headline:
Al Jazeera: From Media Power To Laughing Stock
Al Jazeera: From Media Power To Laughing Stock | Global Research

The insiders at Al Jazeera are upset that the official stance of the network is ‘biased and unprofessional’ coverage of the Syrian uprising!
THINK folks.. THINK!!!
Consider these "insiders" “Ahmad Ibrahim, who is in charge of the channel’s Syria coverage, is the brother of Anas al-Abdeh, a leading member of the opposition Syrian National Council.”
“Al Jazeera has supplied Syrian rebels with satellite communication tools to ensure telephone and Internet connection” and that they “paid $50,000 for smuggling phones and other tools across the Syrian border to ensure they would get an inside picture.” [4] Thus, not only were they spewing deceit, but they were also allowing the opposition to have access to communications. These phones, while used to aid Al Jazeera, could also potentially have been used to commit attacks against the Syrian military as well as civilians."

So these insiders are complaining that Al Jazeera is supporting and encouraging the rebels!

Al Jazeera has descended from media power to laughing stock.

This totally refutes Andrea/Matt/Gore et.al.. frequently repeated MEME: "Al Jazeera highly respected internati'l newsgathering org"
