Ilene Prusher of the Christian Science Monitor: on AlJazeera

Notice how Ilene Prusher of the Christian Science Monitor reports this: "The Palestinian Authority (PA) on Wednesday banned Al Jazeera television from operating in its territory and threatened to take legal action against the Qatar-based Arabic satellite channel because of allegations it made against President Mahmoud Abbas." Notice that the Christian Science Monitor makes it sound as if AlJazeera itself made the allegations, while in reality AlJazeera merely reported on the allegations made by Faruq Qaddumi. I remember years ago when Christian Science Monitor was a good paper. But that was long time ago. (thanks Bruce)
