Al-Jazeera's Dirty Little Secret

Submitted by SAS, Mar 16, 2007 19:22

Al Jazeera is journalism at it's best, the Middle Eastern TV station that gives it's Western counterparts a run for their money !

Here in the US, the broadcasting includes TV stations like Pat Robertson's Club 700 that routinely preaches hatred against Muslims, Arabs, gays and liberals, and yet that is tolerated.

There are TV programs like Lou Dobbs who runs a nightly crusade against irregular immigrants, and yet that is tolerated.

There are TV programs like Glenn Beck, that professional hate mongerer, who, among other things calls for Muslim Americans to be rounded up and deported to concentration camps, and yet that is tolerated.

Al Jazeera is a bastion of high journalistic standards as compared to all this hate mongering. The MEMRI institute talks night and day about the so called hate media of the Arab world - my question is what about the hate journalist of the US ? Or is that whitewashed as free speech ?
