Faine-ing the Truth

Aussie Dave

Jon Faine, a Jewish journalist at The Age, gushes with praise for Al-Crapeeza after being fed the usual lies about “uncensored media”, “freedom of expression” and “an exchange of ideas” by the curiously named Jihad Ballout.

And how about this for a lie:

“Any Jews working here?” I asked, and was told that if I wanted to apply, and spoke Arabic, and was interested in quality journalism, I would be welcome.

If Faine had done his research before this embarassing piece of “journalism”, he may have uncovered the Al-Crapeeza that we know and loathe. The Al-Crapeeza that constantly demonizes the US, Israel and the Jews, while labelling terrorists as “resistance fighters”

Update: Not to mention this (courtesy of LGF):

AL-JAZEERA CORRESPONDENT SATTAR KARIN ADMITTED THAT HIS OFFICE IN THE MAHMOUDIYA, BABIL PROVINCE OF IRAQ HAS BEEN USED TO COORDINATE ATTACKS AGAINST COALITION FORCES. TWO SYRIAN NATIONALS WERE ALSO INVOLVED. (AL-SABAH, IRAQ, 11/9/03)
