BBC to develop Arabic TV station

From The BBC

They already have one, it's called Al Jazeera.

Notice the picture and caption used in this article. The picture is of bin Laden and the caption reads "Al-Jazeera rose to prominence during the Afghan war". What's the message here?

And when Al Jazeera was launched who did they turn to for reporters?

That same year al-Jazeera launched, based in Qatar, and recruited a number of former BBC Arabic staff.

And once the voice of Jihad, Al Jazeera, was up and running what did the BBC do?

the BBC hired Ibrahim Helal, editor in chief of the much-criticized al Jazeera TV network

The love fest with Al Jazeera doesn't stop there.

It grew in popularity and international recognition during the recent war in Afghanistan.

Popularity and recognition from whom? Jihadist the world over.

After poisoning most of the world against the US and Israel, the BBC has turned its' attention to Iraq.

BBC World Service is the largest international radio news broadcaster in Iraq, recent audience figures have shown.

The launch of FM broadcasts in Baghdad, Basra and other major cities gained a weekly audience of 1.8 million.

Haven't the poor Iraqis suffered enough without having to listen to the BBC propaganda machine. No wonder there is continuing strife in Iraq. After listening to the continus drumbeat of bad news and attacks on the US, it is a miracle most Iraqis have not committed suicide by now.

After siging the praises of Al Jazeera and hiring their editor in chief, the BBC decide to attack the US funded satellite channel called al-Hurra.

Despite assurances that it is editorially independent, it has still faced criticism in some quarters.

I bet you can't guess who the "some quarters" are.

The Syrian newspaper Tishran said: "This station is part of a project to re-colonise the Arab homeland that the United States seeks to implement through a carrot-and-stick policy".

The Syrians.

Well, I suppose we can just tear up that "core values" idea; the BBC have.
