Al-Jazeera Staff blog

The staff of Al-Jazeera have started a blog titled "Don't Bomb Us". Head over and read what they have written.. the post from today's date about telling the truth has generated a number of comments like this:

You are a bunch of sorry motherfuckers - if only the US had the guts to bomb you fucking terrorist sympathisers back into your caves where you belowg. (sic)

You yourselfs have just admited in this post im replying to that you belive in the extreamist point of view and i quote(reporter Tarek Ayoub killed and cameraman Zuhair Falih injured. This is too high a price to pay for telling the truth. But at Al Jazeera, we believe the price of not doing so would be even higher.)..So it does seem that your channel is willing to murder its employees by sending them to places and people who can will cause them to die simply for rateings and money while you call it Reporting The Truth. In reality you should have said Reporting Your Truth. (sic)

A quick response to TShearn. Two members of their team died on the roof of their building, where they were bombed and caught the deaths on TV. Members of CNN staff also thought that the US military might have been targeting these members of the press. Then, all of a sudden Private Lynch was found and the bombing took backstage. And btw, if a company says that the death of any of their staffers is too high a price to pay... that is a GOOD thing! Or can I use your own twisted logic and say that CNN, Faux News, etc "...is willing to murder its employees by sending them to places and people who can will cause them to die simply for rateings and money while you call it Reporting The Truth (or Fair and Balanced)..."

Also, please watch the movie "Control Room"(plot:A documentary on perception of the United States's war with Iraq, with an emphasis on Al Jazeera's coverage.) for a good look at what happened regarding the bombing of Al-Jazeera and the death of their staff.
