re: #185 Charles

Al-Jazeera didn’t make the original claims. The Mirror (a UK paper) did. It’s totally understandable that they published followup piece about it after the fact, both as Op-Eds in the UK and in their own paper. If there had been a news story about China targeting the wall street journal, I would expect that the Journals editorial staff would publish similar pieces.

None of this means that parts of Al-Jazeera don’t support terrorism, that’s a straw-man. Boxhead asked if Barret’s link was credible. I followed it back far enough to find that there was something to it. Whether or not you think it’s true depends on who you believe. There isn’t an easy answer to this one.

As an aside, I do agree with you that Al-Jazeera’s story should be taken with a grain of salt. They tend to be very sensationalist.
