This doesn’t surprise me. The British are already the most hated people in the Middle East right after the Jews. It wouldn’t shock me at all if there was an organized British effort to make America look even worse only to shield their own country from the top of the hate list.

At the time, the American reporter promised nine months later that A-Jazeera in English would not be the same as the Arabic network that built its reputation by airing Osama bin Laden propaganda.

Am I reading this right?

“Nine months later?”

It reminds of the story I posted yesterday about a pregnant transsexual man.

Um, nah, it’s not David Marash.

Great point but the tin foil crowd is too set in their ideology to recognize that fact.

They are both equally anti-American. The BBC can bore you to tears with leftist cant, EU propaganda, and global warming-cooling-climate change fantasies whilst Al Jazeera bores you to tears with stories from Couldn’tGiveAMonkeysIstan in Eastern Bhutan lauding the Islamic world’s brave steps towards 12th century women’s rights.

On balance I tend to find the BBC a little more offensive as the ‘enemy within’. It does have its moments though. When Barbara Plett of the BBC wept at Arafat’s funeral you had to laugh at how brazen they are these days.

embarrassed that he was working with and for peanuts for the enemy.

“Given the global feelings about the Bush administration, it’s not surprising,” Marash said.

So, dave, when muslims threw that old jewish guy off the achille lauro or murdered that navy diver flying home on leave it was in anticipation of the election and actions of George Bush.

Things are much clearer with brilliant “journalists” around to enlighten us.

LOL, relying on the far-left Guardian to report this story objectively is like asking the NY Times to do so.

I notice in doing a Google news search on this story that the majority of the ‘news outlets” that ran it totally ignored Marash’s anti-American charge. Too funny!

I am proud of Marash. Deep inside that reporter’s soul still beats the heart of an American. Good job.

double baloney.
marsh is marxist that must have finally become embarrassed that he was working with and for the enemy.

“Given the global feelings about the Bush administration, it’s not surprising,” Marash said.

He’s a leftist douchebag. I am certain this was more about respect and turf and the usual small-stakes crap that these prima donas fight about than any perceived anti-American bias. As this statement shows, Marash is fine with leftist, BDS crap.

Shocker: Al-Jazeera has an anti-American bias!

Er duh, where has this David moron been living, under a fargin rock?!?!? Wait, what am I say, no he hasn’t been living under a rock, he’s been living in the same moonbat cave with all the other moonbat liberal apologists of fascist Islam…yeah, that’s it!

Deep inside that reporter’s soul still beats the heart of an American

Baloney.

to an anti-American bias at a network that is little seen in this country.

I’m calling BS. He must have quit because of a bias against him and not America. He went to work there because his views were the same as thier views. To anyone in the US who has a brain it wasn’t necessary to go to work for the enemy to see they don’t like us. marash left because of something personal not because of his patriotism or nonexistant journalistic integrity.

It took him that long to figure out Al Jezeer is anti American, Anti Christian and Anti Western. David Marash needs to get out of profession Journalism and into something less demanding.
