Even al-Qaida Knows that Fox News Isn’t News

[BigLouie]

In a letter found among Osama Bin Laden’s correspondence, al-Qaida American spokesman Adam Gadahn demonstrated that even terrorists know Fox News isn’t really news.

Adam Gadahn was trying figure out which media network would be neutral to the terrorist organization’s message on the tenth anniversary of 9/11 when he critiqued the US media,

The channels from the standpoint of professionalism and neutrality. It is all as the Shaykh has stated (close to professionalism and neutrality) it has not and will not reach the perfect professionalism and neutrality, only if God wants that.
From the professional point of view, they are all on one levelexcept (Fox News) channel which falls into the abyss as you know, and lacks neutrality too.
As for the neutrality of CNN in English, it seems to be in cooperation with the government more than the others (except Fox News of course). Its Arabic version brings good and detailed reports about al-Sahab releases, with a lot of quotations from the original text. That means they copy directly from the releases or its gist. It is not like what other channels and sites do, copying from news agencies like Reuters, AP and others.
I used to think that MSNBC channel may be good and neutral a bit, but is has lately fired two of the most famous journalists –Keith Olberman and Octavia Nasser the Lebanese – because they released some statements that were open for argument (The Lebanese had praised a Shia Imam Muhammad Husayn Fadlallah after his death and called him “One of the marvels of Hizballah” it seems she is a Shia.)
CBS channel was mentioned by the Shaykh, I see that it is like the other channels, but it has a famous program (60 Minutes) that has some popularity and a good reputation for its long broadcasting time. Only God knows the reality, as I am not really in a position to do so.
ABC channel is all right; actually it could be one of the best channels, as far as we are concerned. It is interested in al-Qa’ida issues, particularly the journalist Brian Ross, who is specialized in terrorism. The channel is still proud for its interview with the Shaykh. It also broadcasted excerpts from a speech of mine on the fourth anniversary, it also published most of that text on its site on the internet.


In conclusion, we can say that there is no single channel that we could rely on for our messages. I may ignore them, and even the channel that broadcast them, probably it would distort them somehow. This is accomplished by bringing analysts and experts that would interpret its meaning in the way they want it to be. Or they may ignore the message and conduct a smearing of the individuals, to the end of the list of what you know about their cunning methods.
….
In general, and no matter what material we send, I suggest that we should distribute it to more than one channel, so that there will be healthy competition between the channels in broadcasting the material, so that no other channel takes the lead. It should be sent for example to ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN and maybe PBS and VOA. As for Fox News, let her die in her anger.
There are some really mind blowing parts to this letter. The idea that al-Qaida was a looking for a neutral American news outlet to use to spread their propaganda on the tenth anniversary of an attack that they carried out that killed 3,497 people is jaw dropping. Second, the notion that MSNBC lost their neutrality when they fired Keith Olbermann is hysterical. Many of Olbermann’s biggest supporters and fans love him because he isn’t neutral. The Olbermann firing hurt MSNBC in a lot of ways, but not in the objectivity department.

When one of the biggest terrorist organization’s in the world looks at Fox News and thinks, “Wow, those guys are really biased,” that speaks volumes about how they run their business over at FNC. Of course, Fox News will take this as a badge of honor. There will be several al-Qaida hates us high fives dished out over the airwaves, and of course they will leave out the part about Fox News being an abyss that lacks neutrality.

Al-Qaida was really trying to find a way to use the US media to get their propaganda out, but they couldn’t because all the media is the same, except for Fox News, which is much, much worse. The terrorists placed their blame for the media’s behavior in the wrong place. The government isn’t controlling the media, but the corporations are.

If even al-Qaida understands that Fox News isn’t really news, then it is time to drop the act. When terrorists think your bias is out of control, it is time for Fox to come clean and admit that they are a 24/7/365 propaganda informerical for the right and the Republican Party.

Only a liberal would take the word of a mass murderer.

You get pounded even time you post this kind of crap.

Please stay down on the mat this time....you're making us all sick.

he should move to Pawwckeeeeeeeesstaaawn,hed live about a day there, that would be funny to watch,, cmon man , live your convictions!!LOL

[Sexyeccentric1]

So true..

I liked this quote from one of the posters on the news site:

"Pretty staggering how dead-on they were in their assessment of US media! They are savvy enough to know the game, that Fox is a tool of the Frightwing. The only question is when will all the simple minded Fox viewers figure it out?"

Fox news registered as an entertainment network and not a news network to get around the FCC's requirement (policy) about reporting facts and not distorting or giving misinformation on events or people. That is why they can lie their asses off on their network and mislead the sheeple who watch them.

[CuteOldGuy]

So Fox News should change the way it reports to satisfy Al Qaida. BL, you are truly off the wall this time. You are heading into FastGoon lunacy territory.

I'm not sure I'd like to advertise myself as "The only news network approved by terrorists." "We Report, You Suicide Bomb." "The Only News Fit To Explode." "CNN - the Network Terrorists Trust." "More Terrorists Get Their News From ABC Than Any Other Source,"

Yeah, that won't bring in the advertisers, unless you're selling IEDs.

According to declassified Osama bin Laden documents found at his Pakistan compound, Al Qaeda's late leader called Joe Biden 'totally unprepared' for the presidency, and left him off a hit list.

He also didn't like strawberry ice cream.

NBC fires another journalist for a different distortion in the Zimmerman Case

Lilia Luciano Fired By NBC News Over Botched George Zimmerman Edit
By Jack Mirkinson Updated: 05/ 3/2012 10:36 pm
According to TVNewser, one of Luciano's pieces made a completely new mistake, combining sections from two different portions of the tape to give the misleading impression that Zimmerman said the phrase, "This guy looks like he’s up to no good or on drugs or something. He’s got his hand in his waistband. And he’s a black male."

and they thought that MSNBC was "fair" until they fired Keith Olbermann. So Louie wants to hang with Al Qaida. I had a drone here somewhere that isn't busy. Louie, are at home or work...oops silly me. You just have to leave your mother's basement to collect your welfare check, hit the liquor store for boozed and smokes, and you're back home again. So home it is.

Maybe "only a liberal" is "of the people...by the people...for the people"...call me a communist now, I dare you!

[nevergaveitathought]

strange and so very telling that one could take refuge in and feel politically bolstered by praise from adam gadahn, the american traitor.

when i read the released excerpts the other day i thought how embarrassing to be seen as fair to al-qaeda by the american "expert" adam gadahn.

now the same is posted as some badge of honor and sign of superiority by people in here.

reminds me of the liberal news media responses to would they warn american soldiers of an impeding surprise attack or just be "journalists" whatever that is, as if that was some great moral delimma.

frankly the opinion shows on fox do not support al-qaeda in the main, but they would have fools on who would; it makes great tv. the news programs report, but not with the slant that would warm al-qaeda's heart you might find elsewhere.

Ok, you're a communist.

A stunningly attractive communist.

In fact, I think you are a CILF!

[Guest123018-4]

Not only does the truth piss off the liberals but it pisses off the terrorists too.

[joe bloe]

So let me try to follow your line of reasoning. Fox News must not be legitimate because Al Qaida doesn't approve of them. Only a liberal would say something so moronic. I'll bet Al Qaida likes MSNBC a lot better, so they must be telling the truth.
