Al-Jazeera, Mouthpiece of the Enemy
Referring to al-Jazeera, Donald Rumsfeld said: "You claim that your motto is to open the floor for all opinions ... so why is your channel a mouthpiece for the terrorists?" Your station should stick to reporting the news of the liberation actions "as it is" and not attempt to harm the image and reputation of US-led forces in Iraq.
Actually, that's not quite accurate. Replace "terrorists" in the first quoted sentence with "Americans"; replace "liberation" with "mujahadin"; and insert "groups fighting" after "reputation of," and you'll have the words of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Yes, folks, al-Zarqawi thinks al-Jazeera is a U.S. propaganda outlet.
Apparently al-Jazeera is doing something right if both sides are accusing them of carrying the enemy's water.
