HOW DOES A NEWS STATION LOSE THE INDEPENDENCE IT NEVER HAD?
Come on folks. In spite of the highly touted ideals that supposedly went into the making of al-Jazeera, the die was set long before the ‘news station’ ever got going. It was meant to be a propaganda spitting machine from the git go, and feignt of impartiality was a means to the end goal. Become established in order to compete with the big boys then let the spin begin.
NOTE: It’s with great irony that Der Spiegel, the German news outlet that publishes the anti-Semitic swill by one of its owners, Jakob Augstein, is running this story.
