Exposing Al-Jazeera

Regarding Al Jazeera:

1) Bin Laden finds it very convenient to supply them with videos, he has their "express" address to beam stuff directly in from Afghanistan/Pakistan, things that become fodder for the American media, to legitimize the policies of the U.S. elite, or to mask with convenient timing, political problems in the U.S.

2) Location of Al-Jazeera; its location in Qatar, a US military satellite state whose rulers are totally subservient to the U.S elite, and

3) How it has managed to build legitimacy among the Arabs in standard CIA modus operandi (for example, when they try to topple previously supported government by emphasizing genuine grievances; in the case of Al-Jazeera, grievances that Arabs might have with the US and Israel), reeks of being another one of the CIA’s many media concerns.

Why did the U.S. bomb its offices and kill some of its reporters during the initial phase of the Iraq war you ask? Hmmm, let me answer that with a question, " Why do they kill previous heads of states that they have supported or strengthen much hated opponents like the hardliner government of Iran using the nuclear issue?"-Answer: for the fulfillment of their ulterior motives, in this case building legitimacy.

4) Finally, look at how Al-Jazeera, (the English version) has cloned itself after the Western media, borrowed personalities institutionally trained by the corporate elite in the West to push the capitalist point of view, not by giving explicit instructions (though those occur as well) but by social psychological training and organizational vetting process. These personalities travel from one corporate media concern to another, they interchange frequently with ease and now they have landed, fully trained, to Al-Jazeera. (not to forget Al-Jazeera’s partnership with CNN etc. during the initial stages of the 2003 Iraq war)

Know that Al-Jazeera’s, sincerity is fakery, set up to enhance and legitimize US domination in the region, there is enough plausible evidence (above) to arrive at that conclusion.
