Associated Press has admitted that it knowingly put terrorist sympathisers on its payroll in Iraq. This is not the first time that the AP has associated itself with pro-terrorists. It also hired Muhammad Daraghmeh to report on Palestinian affairs knowing that she was an agent of the PLO.
This raises a vital question: Is the AP?s treason an isolated incident or has the media in general sided with the enemy? I fear the answer is yes.
Considering the one-sided reporting from Iraq that paints terrorists as ?freedom fighters?, the ?resistance? or simply ?insurgents? while the liberators are portrayed as being nothing but occupiers it becomes easy to conclude that the media are aligning themselves with barbarism. Now where is the evidence?
Let us take as a starting point an incident that occurred in November 2003 when two Paris Match journalists accompanied a group of terrorists that had planned to shoot down a DHL Airbus.
This pair of collaborators only excuse for cooperating with these terrorist would-be mass murderers is that they did not know that the Airbus was a civilian airliner. So according to their journalistic logic it would have been alright if they had shot down an airplane loaded with American or British troops.
Was it their hatred of America that blinded them to the fact that they were actively participating in a terrorist act? Or was it because they are using journalism to cloak their active support for terrorists?
