Al-Jazeera or Just A Joke

Propaganda media strikes again !
I’ve learned not to trust all the images or reports coming out of the Middle East regarding deaths and injuries. Sometimes it is hard to spot the fakes. Other times, it is a little easier.

Middle East Analyst Raymond Ibrahim who speaks Arabic and follows the Egyptian media closely reports, “A near hysterical woman is heard lambasting the Egyptian military for supposedly killing peaceful Brotherhood protesters, while the Al Jazeera crew videotapes a man who appears to be either unconscious or dead — a supposed victim of the military.”

The scene at the Fateh Mosque in Cairo: A man with a blood-soaked shirt and bandaged head is on the ground. His hand is on his torso resting on the blood stain, suggesting he was shot. When a first aid worker pulls up the “victim’s” shirt, the purportedly unconscious (or dead) man quickly raises his sneakered foot to push away the medic’s hand. All the while, the man’s eyes remain closed.

 And Al-Jazeera launched an American version on Tuesday; guess the Comedy Channel is in for some stiff competition.
