Just seven short years after Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld called the broadcaster’s reporting “vicious, inaccurate and inexcusable” and President George W. Bush joked about bombing it, Columbia University is bestowing upon Al-Jazeera its top journalism prize. Goebbels would be so pleased.
The overtly covert — or is that covertly overt? — propaganda war against the West is being waged on all fronts, but no organization has done as much to spread hate, lies and incitement to violence as Al-Jazeera. Al-Jazeera is the leading terrorist propaganda organization in the world. Jihad murder mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki has praised Al-Jazeera, and several years ago one of its most prominent reporters was arrested on terror charges. Al-Jazeera also has for years been the recipient of numerous Al-Qaeda videos featuring bin Laden, Zawahiri, and American traitor Adam Gadahn. Yet they never seem to be able to trace where these videos are coming from. They have repeatedly been set up at the point of attack right before a bomb went off, so that they could take the picture of the slaughtered, dismembered bodies.
91 American, Israeli and Canadian victims of Hezbollah rocket attacks have filed an unprecedented 1.2 billion dollar lawsuit against the Al-Jazeera television network. Al-Jazeera is accused of intentionally providing real-time coverage of the locations of missile strikes inside Israel, in violation of Israeli security regulations, thereby enabling Hezbollah to aim its missiles more accurately.

I wonder where Columbia gets the majority of it's funding. I am sure the founders are turning in their graves at this latest affront to America.
I'm all for stopping all FEDERAL funding, why support any student loans to Columbia? Wake up ANAD WISE up.
I agree with you both!
I suspect more Americans would like to cut federal funding for Jerry Falwell's Liberty University than for Columbia. Are you sure that's a road you want to go down?
Liberty U gets more federal funding than PBS, by the way: http://www.pculpa.com/libertarian/38-blog-entry/2…
James the Fagot i do not think so!
My opinion is that all federal funding should be eliminated. If some one wants a education then they will find a way to do so. Though i am sure James that you took all that you could from the tax payers?
You'd have been more accurate if you had stopped after seven words, Cougar. And in addition to your inability to spell your silly insult, you're obviously lying again: http://www.westernjournalism.com/palin-media-trea….
And while I paid my way through school with scholarships and work (it was long enough ago that work in a sawmill could cover tuition), many of my students do receive federal aid. I'd bet that most at the university where you pretend to work do, too–and chances are, without that aid, you'd be out of your imaginary job.
Columbia university and other universities and colleges that promote such anti-American bigotry and
use their resources to undermine and foment attacks upon the USA and our allies should have their
funding eliminated immediately and charges of treason should be filed against them and let the light
of truth be shone upon them and their co-horts in front of a jury and see how they react to the charges
of treason and giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
Don Rushing i so agree with you!
As a journalist myself, I am outraged that an American University would give such an honor to a terrorist communications organization. However, I am not surprised because for the last 25 years I have been so ashamed of American journalism and journalists that I can hardly speak.
Our nation would never have allowed the fraud Obama to become POTUS if journalists had been doing their job!
The MSM is a joke!
They should be investigating stories that can inform the public to give them the tools to make intelligent decisions that can keep our nation FREE.
Instead, they are as much of the problem as the Socialists/Communists taking over the United States of America!
Too bad we didn't cut off funding then, when will we wise up? It's never too late.
LOL! Az. Wayne hard not to agree with you.

I did not think that I would encounter such censorship on this web site for an innocuous remark. I feel like I'm living in China!
True Liberty 49! We are censored here1
Notice!
Democratic Party is gearing up for the upcoming elections in 2012 against conservative sites on the internet. The operatives comparable to James McPherson have a data base of programed answers to virtually any comment or subject. Botts/Robots programed such as Ellen on this site are being implemented in addition to aliases by the operatives.
My hotmail account that I receive my conservative emails and reforward to friends got shut
down and I had to verify who I am before I could get back in.
My alternet account that handles the liberal stuff (so I can keep tabs on their actions) is running
without any problems.
The account that I send conservative stuff from wants to start charging me to forward the
content and requires credit card verification. No such requirement on my liberal account.
Hmmmm.
And I told James a few months ago that Barry wanted to do this.
Odd that just a few weeks ago Barry had his big private meeting in Cali. with facebook, microsoft,
intel, etc. execs.
???????
Gary keep in mind the two areas which they currently do not control are Talk Radio & the Internet. So it makes perfect sense why they are concentrating on both as far as trying to restrict them.
Further if you noticed James McPherson the Fagot did not attack me on this issue so he attacked me on the issue of bots on the internet.
I am sure that the Republicans have their own programs which are similar to those of the Democrats. I support neither party when it comes to practicing dirty politics.
I always assumed that this kind of dirty politics was being practiced but not for certain until recently. Brad a guy whom i am seeing was unemployed & in desperation answered a ad for a Telephone Marketing job. Brad got the job but hates it because he feels he is being dishonest to the people.
In addition to your inability to spell your silly insult, Cougar, you're obviously lying again: http://www.westernjournalism.com/palin-media-trea….
James the Faggot look up the definition & spelling! Your being a Bi/Gay/Homosexual in fact was beneficial in your correcting me previously with the spelling because i am straight. Gee I could have just called you a Queer but i was trying to be nice to you by calling you a Faggot.
Confusing word to spell when you are straight!
You're welcome, Cougar. Now if you want to go back and start fixing the dozens of other things I've tried to help you with, you might find it refreshing. Perhaps you'll want to start here: http://www.westernjournalism.com/palin-media-trea….
James the Fag only if you agree to do the same on all of the errors which i have corrected you on as well?
Cougar, your lack of understanding of the Internet and how bots work is fortunately exceeded only by your willingness to demonstrate that lack. Thank you.
Souinds like the univ.is a unamerican one.
I so agree with you William L. Sasman.
In addition to your inability to spell your silly insult, Cougar, you're obviously lying again: http://www.westernjournalism.com/palin-media-trea…
James the Faggot i am straight therefore i am not a Gay/Bi/Homosexual as you are. In fact i guess i should just called you a Fag? Many different spellings as you must attest to! So cut the BS Fag.
LOL! Just more copy & paste as usual! LOL! You just proved my point that you are a liar! Just how dumb are you truly? Get a life loser!
As long as you keep offering copy-and-paste insults and lies rather than rational discussion, Cougar, I'll keep pasting links to prove that you're a liar: Perhaps folks will want to start here: http://www.westernjournalism.com/palin-media-trea….
Or maybe here: http://www.westernjournalism.com/susan-daniels-ex….
Lol! Cut & paste queen is what you are!
I don't care what bores you, Cougar. As long as you keep offering copy-and-paste insults and lies rather than rational discussion, I'll keep pasting links to prove that you're a liar: Perhaps folks will want to start here: http://www.westernjournalism.com/palin-media-trea….

Why don't you and Alexia take your inane barbs to private emails between the 2 of you. Save this space for people who actually want to make reasonable responses.
"Save this space"
Are you afraid the Internet will run out, lori?
Actually, I'm sure it gets old, and I'd encourage you to skip over it–though you'll notice that my comments to Cougar/Alexia have been in direct response to his/her comments to (or insults of) me. I fear that s/he has a terrible crush on me, since s/he feels obligated to respond to everything I write.
And since she–like you–is anonymous, it would be tough to do what you ask. But either of you can feel free to send me and email any time–I'm easy to find.
The one that knows good comment!
I agree Columbia is worthless!
Liberty 49 i have been saying the same as you for a very long time!
"thank you for correcting me"
You're welcome, Cougar. Now if you want to go back and start fixing the dozens of other things I've tried to help you with, you might find it refreshing. Perhaps you'll want to start here: http://www.westernjournalism.com/palin-media-trea…

James the Fag look up the definition & spelling! Multiple spellings faggot,fagot,fag. Your being a Bi/Gay/Homosexual in fact was beneficial in your correcting me previously with the spelling because i am straight. Gee I could have just called you a Queer but i was trying to be nice to you by calling you a Faggot.
I would suggest that you as well need to go back on all of the errors which you have made which i corrected you on as well!
Dork!
James the Fag! Your copying & pasting again! Gee you are such a loser dork!

LOL! You really believe yourself don't you? James the Fag any one can see that you are constantly doing so on this site! Therefore you are in fact the liar & not me!
Keep up the excellent work at making me look good.

James you truly are just a bore to me! Cut & paste! Cut & paste! Do you not know how to convey your thoughts or are you truly this limited?
