Recently, Columbia University bestowed its most prestigious award to Al Jazeera, the Middle East "News" organization that routinely sprinkles its stories with islamist propaganda.
Columbia's statement of praise included this:
"Al Jazeera English has performed a great service in bringing the English-speaking world in-depth coverage of the turmoil in the Middle East. We salute its determination to get to the heart of a complicated story unfolding in countries where news has historically been difficult to cover."
They went on to praise Al Jazeera for:
"overall depth and quality of its peerless coverage of the ongoing protests in the Middle East".
Yes, the "Arab Spring" democracy movement that Al Jazeera and other news organizations tuted as a "grassroots" movement, led by people who just wanted freedom, is proving to be as inaccurate as most other things they report. As Egypt is showing us all, the freedom movement there is in deep trouble as the Muslim Brotherhood has moved in quickly to fill the power vacuum, inserting themselves into the highest levels of the government. Egypt is quickly moving from a dictatorship which leaned, however slightly, to pro-Western ideals and pro-capitalist economic policies to what looks to be an Islamo-facist dictatorship with pro-Iranian leanings.
Some other highlights of Al Jazeera coverage:
- Comments by one of Al-Jazeera English’s stars, Riz Khan, who appeared on CNN and refused to call Hamas or Hezbollah terrorist organizations. “I am not one to judge,” Khan said.
- Aired a pro-terrorist video and had distorted the comments of British Prime Minister Tony Blair in an interview with David Frost.
- A report on Iraq that included footage of the ‘Islamic Army in Iraq’ going through drills and graduating a group of new soldiers.” The story glamorized the terrorists and was propaganda from start to finish.
Now we have this sympathetic look at Bin Laden from a news organization that the Obama Administration claims they watch to keep up on all the news from the Middle East:
