How al-Qaeda tried to control the media

As I wrote last week, Gadahn hated Fox News (“falls into the abyss”); he liked MSNBC but complained about the firing of Keith Olbermann; he had mixed feelings about CNN (better in Arabic than in English) and made flattering comments about CBS and ABC.

I'm guessing that Fox News isn't too upset over being hated by a terrorists media advisor?

Read the whole article. The "Gadahn" mentioned is a Jewish American who converted. The parts about being punished by God for murder are interesting.

Gadahn is an intriguing figure whose life story would seem far-fetched if sketched by a Hollywood screenwriter. He was born Adam Pearlman in 1978, grandson of a California doctor who had served on the board of the Jewish Anti-Defamation League. Gadahn converted to Islam when he was 17, migrated to Pakistan at 20 and then disappeared in March 2001 into al-Qaeda’s world. In 2006, he was indicted by the United States for treason.

I read the whole article and will say again that Fox is probably not too upset with being unpopular with Al-Qaeda's formerly zionist, now terrorist media advisor.

I imagine none of the news stations care what he thinks

Unless they are going to for the potential terrorist viewers during sweeps week I doubt they are either. However it is interesting that they hate Fox.

It is interesting to know you liberals and terrorist groups have something in common though. I'm surprised that DailyKos didnt have Gadahn doing a blog for them.
