Al Jazeera, Al Qaeda's terrorist partner, is a media front for Islamic extremists. It ... is the arch enemy of Fox News and Papa Bear Bill O'Reilly. They strive hard to provide the most up to date beheading videos and communication from the terrorists. They ask the provocative questions and keep the terrorists focused. They keep the illegal drug user informed on how the taxes incurred on his/her last illicit purchase is being spent by the terrorists. Al Jazeera relentlessly pursues pork barrel spending because, well, they just consider it filthy.

He speculates that Sky News will that day be concentrating on the murder in Italy of the British student Meredith Kercher. "That's a story we wouldn't particularly cover on Al Jazeera. It doesn't have the same ripple in terms of news events."
