[...] Two questions and an observation. One: if Arab photojournalists are willing to doctor images and stage scenes for western media, which they know objects to such practices as unethical, what must they be willing to do for a Middle Eastern media that likes its news inflammatory? Two: is competitive pressure from new Muslim media outfits like Al Jazeera forcing western media bureaus in the region — like APTN — towards greater radicalization? And three: note how perfectly this sort of incitement dovetails with attempts by some western Muslims to extort concessions from their governments on foreign (and even domestic) policy. The more victmized Arabs feel, the angrier they get, the easier it becomes for Islamists to cow Europeans into meeting their demands. The latest from England, where the government’s just concluded an “emergency meeting” with Muslim community leaders: [O]n leaving the meeting, Dr Syed Aziz Pasha, secretary general of the [Union of Muslim Organisations of the UK and Ireland], said: “We are willing to cooperate but there should be a partnership.

This makes them worse than the terrorists in my book – at least the terrorists know what they stand for and fight for it – these “journalists” talk out of both sides of their mouths (and when the opportunity comes up, out their a$$ as well) – they work against those that fight for their right to do what they do. This truly makes me sick.

Admitted leeches! And hypocrites!

Yet, they, the ‘progressive’ icons of the world, preach to us:

- equality for all
- multi-culti and tolerance
- absolutely no profiling of any kind
- no interrogation, no searches, no tracking of any kind
- complete freedom of speech and other expression
- subservience to the U.N.
- complete separation of government and religion
- no right to carry guns
- freedom for all religions, cults, including none
- higher taxes and redistribution thereof
- social everything
- civil rights for the most brutal of so called ‘human beings’
- women’s rights
- Geneva convention

And they look for their ‘raison d’etre’. Scum of the Earth!

Consider this:

If Reuters won’t report stuff from those “dangerous” countries, like they do for “safe” countries, then they have already abdicated their postion as a “global” new source.

So, Eason Jordan was not unique (though we already knew as much). This highlights the sad state of journalism today. Journalists want us to view them as responsible and unbiased, but they are willing to compormise their principles in order to remain a global media corporation. Money over integrity.

Further, the example described by the former Al-Reuters member illustrates how they are taking advantage of freedoms offered in democracies while cowering in the face of religious tyrants. Thus, they are corporations interested primarily in the bottom line and who are not above being used as pawns. So long as they continue to turn a profit. And they dare to look down their noses at Drudge and bloggers.
