Al-Jazeera is a media war machine. The true journalists left the channel because of biased "Arab Spring" coverage.
 Part of channel(s): Syria (current event)

Ahmad Ibrahim, who is in charge of the channel’s Syria coverage, is the brother of Anas al-Abdeh, a leading member of the opposition Syrian National Council. He allegedly stopped using his family name to avoid drawing attention to the connection. (24.February 2012)

Al Jazeera has supplied Syrian rebels with satellite communication tools to ensure telephone and Internet connection, claims Ali Hashim, a former correspondent of the Qatar-funded channel. The equipment was smuggled from Lebanon, he told RT.

In protest against its performance in covering the events in Syria and the Arab region, Managing Director of al-Jazeera Office in Beirut, Hassan Shaaban has forwarded his resignation to al-Jazeera Channel, according to Lebanese al-Akhbar Newspaper. In this context, the newspaper said that Shaaban resigned in protest against the biased and provocative policy adopted by the channel in covering the events in the Arab region, particularly in Syria and Bahrain.The resignation comes a week after the producer of the Channel's office in Beirut, Mousa Ahmad and the correspondent Ali Hashem resigned for the same reasons.

A source told the Lebanese paper Al Akhbar that Al Jazeera’s Beirut correspondent Ali Hashem had quit over the channel’s stance on covering events in Syria. "… his position [which] changed after the station refused to show photos he had taken of armed fighters clashing with the Syrian Army in Wadi Khaled. Instead [Al Jazeera] lambasted him as a shabeeh [implying a regime loyalist],” a source told Lebanese press.

  • unfortunately al jazeera and RT are way more credible than any mainstream american news channel, american news broadcasts are starting to look like early 90s sitcoms

  • Exactly right - at first I thought between Fox and Al-jazeera I'll get a balanced coverage. But it turns out it is all just propaganda bullshit. Fuck them, hope they go down.

  • Off topic a bit, but what is the correct spelling and term to use, Shabiha or Shabeeh? I've seen both used often on the web.

  • Anyone from the western world thinking their media is free and unbiased has not done his homework. They have recruited politically specific employees for many many years. Media is full of leftist liberals that control the agenda.

  • There was a Twit with the user name 'sand monkey' in Egypt during the demonstrations who tweeted info to Al Jazeera. He was arrested and released at least once. US news outlets were always a step or two behind.

  • But clearly Russia Today is free from agenda when it comes to the civil war in Syria.

    Their coverage has been some of the most warped and distorted over the past 18 months in respect of Syria.

    Every mainstream media outlet/broadcaster is a joke, they all tow the line, please their sponsors, try not to upset their sponsors. Even the BBC who have no sponsors, but rely on the British taxpayers' income have their own agendas.

    Mainstream media is bullshit, they always present the facts to suit the More..
