"Al Jazeera English is planning to reach American Muslims, who primarily speak English, with inflammatory words and images making America out to be the enemy and villain in the Middle East.”
WASHINGTON, DC – In the wake of Al Jazeera’s $100 million payoff to former Vice President Al Gore, Accuracy in Media is urging a congressional probe into the controversial operations of foreign propaganda channel Al Jazeera on American soil. Cliff Kincaid, Director of the AIM Center for Investigative Journalism, said, “It is time for the House Homeland Security Committee under its new chairman, Rep. Michael McCaul, to examine how Al Jazeera’s anti-American programming is seeking to gain a dangerous foothold in the United States through the acquisition of Al Gore’s Current TV cable channel.”
