<p>I have no great sympathy for the AP or the rest of the media. They spent 8 years shrieking that President Bush was turning America into a nightmarish totalitarian state and then spent 5 years furiously agitating for a man who actually is.</p>
<p><a href="http://iowntheworld.com/blog/?paged=2#00lf42UJsY6ujIfO.99">The left never learns its lessons</a>. It never remembers that left wing governments end up purging the ranks of the left.</p>
<blockquote><p>The CEO of the Associated Press told an audience Wednesday that the Department of Justice has succeeded in muzzling government employees from talking to AP reporters in the weeks since the seizure of AP phone records was revealed.</p>
<p>“What I learned from our journalists should alarm everyone in this room and I think should alarm everyone in this country. The actions of the DOJ against AP are already having an impact beyond the specifics of this particular case,” AP CEO Gary Pruitt told an audience at the National Press Club.</p>
<p>“Some of our longtime trusted sources have become nervous and anxious about talking to us, even about stories that aren’t about national security. In some cases, government employees that we once checked in with regularly will no longer speak to us by phone, and some are reluctant to meet in person.”</p></blockquote>
<p>The SA called. It wants its pity party back and wishes the knives were a little shorter.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[As the Qatari network explodes in America, where are journalists' cries of "dangerous bias"? ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/al-jazeera-english-channel-staff-prepare-for-a-broadcast-in-the-doha-news-room-in-qatar-in-2006.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-191068" alt="al-jazeera-english-channel-staff-prepare-for-a-broadcast-in-the-doha-news-room-in-qatar-in-2006" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/al-jazeera-english-channel-staff-prepare-for-a-broadcast-in-the-doha-news-room-in-qatar-in-2006-450x300.jpg" width="270" height="180" /></a>The Middle East oil fields are paying quite well this summer in America – and the beneficiaries are American liberal journalists.  The launch of Al-Jazeera America can very well forever change American media. Spending time each summer in Europe, I watch Al-Jazeera and even as a political conservative, find it to be excellent TV.  It is well-produced, professional TV which has flourished in the ratings in the 130 countries in which it is available.  Not unlike other TV stations, they have a political bent and it’s to be expected.</p>
<p>Yesterday, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/27/business/media/american-al-jazeera-channel-shifs-focus-to-us-news.html?pagewanted=all"><em>The New York Times</em> reported</a> that Al-Jazeera America is rapidly growing and poised for success in the United States.  As former CNN anchor Ali Velshi put it, “This is the first big journalism hiring binge that anyone’s been on for a long time.” What better time could there be for a station which is owned by Qatar, one of the richest countries in the world, to enter the American market – which they have long tried to enter. American journalists are overwhelmingly liberal &#8212; and the Arab nations are now able to pay reporters while few others can and will.  <i>Scary times indeed.</i></p>
<p>The fact that when Al Jazeera was founded it received a $147 million subsidy from the Qatari government and continue to receive at least $100 million annually in Qatari subsidies will surely not be widely reported or known.  And the media outlet – owned by the Qatari royal family – was described yesterday by a senior executive as “an American news channel that broadcasts news of interest and importance to its American audience.” <i>Indeed, very American.</i></p>
<p>Al-Jazeera has taken the studio space at the renowned Newseum in Washington, D.C., which was formerly that of ABC’s &#8220;This Week&#8221; program, and are opening at least 12 news bureaus throughout the U.S. nationwide, and planning to have original programming which emanates from the USA. <i>Liberals need to be kvelling</i>: A sitting United States president with a Justice Department that searches and seizes records from Fox News and the Associated Press, and a former United States vice president who makes hundreds of millions of dollars selling his TV network to the government of Qatar.</p>
<p>And money isn’t an issue – as <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/05/wikileaks-cables-al-jazeera-qatari-foreign-policy">the United States Department of State has said, Qatar uses Al-Jazeera</a> “as a bargaining chip in foreign policy negotiations by adapting its coverage to suit other foreign leaders and offering to cease critical transmissions in exchange for major concessions.” They are willing to lose money to spread their propaganda, in pursuit of political agendas. Who cares about losing some money in TV – as business between the US and Qatar continues to expand rapidly (billions of dollars annually) and they can influence policy in the Mid East and elsewhere? Surely, it’s a wise investment.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.algemeiner.com/2013/01/07/al-jazeera-usa-not-good-for-the-jews/">Al Jazeera will be a force to be reckoned with and will have a major impact on news coverage worldwide</a>.  It’s owned by the Qatar royal family, rulers of one of the world’s richest nations, who don’t worry about stock market prices or shareholders.  Qatar is ruled by sharia (Islamic law) with tremendous oil and gas reserves.</p>
<p>They aren’t in a rush to open and are dedicated to doing it right.  They have hired a smart <a href="http://www.5wpr.com/news/5wpr_named_finalist_for_public_relations_agency_of_year_in_2013_american_business_awards.cfm">PR Agency</a> in Qorvis Communications, which has shilled in the past for Bahrain, where there is mass torture of citizens and at least 60 people have been killed by government security forces in the past few years, as well as Saudi Arabia after 9/11.</p>
<p>Now, don’t be alarmed about Al-Jazeera, as their entry to the U.S. has been paved by a former American vice president.  Of course, we do read and hear endlessly of the danger posed by the possibility of the conservative Koch Brothers buying the eight Tribune Co. daily papers and plenty of shouts from “media watchdog” organizations reminding the public of the need for independent, non-biased media.</p>
<p>Now, of course American conservatives are a danger – but don’t question Arab emirates.  That would not be appropriate.</p>

		<title>Sheldon Adelson Isn’t to Blame for Failing Leftist Newspapers</title>

		<description><![CDATA[The left-wing press looks for a scapegoat. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/05-Sheldon-Adelson.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-147313" title="05-Sheldon-Adelson" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/05-Sheldon-Adelson.gif" alt="" width="375" height="259" /></a>Maariv</em>, one of Israel&#8217;s leading newspapers, is on the verge of closing, and <em>Ha’aretz</em>, a far left-wing newspaper, is also under threat of closure – and that’s life in the big leagues. Israel is a small country which has a relatively large number of media outlets, so it’s not a surprise that media will have a shake-out.  One wonders why newspapers being closed in a small market like Israel is worthy of international media headlines, including in <em>The New York Times, The Guardian</em> and other major outlets.</p>
<p>The answer is clear – just as Al Gore invented the Internet, if you read media reports one may believe that one of the richest Jews in the world, conservative <a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2012/ronn-torossian/team-obama-should-apologize-for-libeling-adelson/">Sheldon Adelson</a>, is responsible for the fact that amongst other reasons, digital media is hurting print newspapers worldwide. All over the world, newspapers are seeing layoffs and feeling the effects of the economic malaise – why should anyone be surprised that it affects Israeli media?</p>
<p>Sheldon Adelson believes in free-enterprise and founded a free newspaper five years ago, <em>Israel Hayom</em>, which today has the largest weekday distribution of any Hebrew paper. Fair and square, <em>Israel Hayom</em> has defeated other ideological papers &#8212; including <em>Ha’aretz</em> (which the Prime Minister of Israel deemed an enemy of Israel and is owned by ideological far-leftists). Just as <em>Ha’aretz</em> invested millions in pursuit of its ideology and business to express its freedom (and money), so too did Adelson.</p>
<p>This is free-market economics, like it or not, and Adelson has no monopoly. Mainstream media ignore the fact that George Soros, a far-leftist who recently said, “The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States,” is the one who has financial affiliations with more than 30 mainstream news outlets – including <em>The New York Times</em>, <em>Washington Post</em>, and ABC. Prominent journalists like Jill Abramson, executive editor of<em> The New York Times </em>and the vice president of the <em>Washington Post</em>, and others<em> </em>serve on boards of organizations that take millions from Soros.</p>
<p>In 2007, conservative billionaire Rupert Murdoch paid $5 billion for the <em>Wall Street Journal</em>—and now, the value is less, and some economists have said the <em>Wall Street Journal</em> was a bad financial investment. Should Murdoch blame liberals? A recent documentary by filmmaker <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/markbirnbaum">Mark Birnbaum</a>, &#8220;Stop the Presses: The American Newspaper in Peril,” showed the rash of closed American papers – and in Israel it’s no different.</p>
<p>Despite the whining of the liberal elite, “mainstream” media worldwide is indeed biased and left-wing – and Adelson has said, “We are too fair. We intended to make it fair and balanced because the other newspapers are so far to the left. The problem in education and in the press is that everybody is to the left.” And he has further added, “What political involvement? I am not involved politically in Israel. Period.” Everything Adelson has done is fair – he is simply a principled, driven man who believes it is his right to influence people.</p>
<p>Sheldon Adelson has said: “I suppose you could say that I live on Vince Lombardi’s belief: ‘Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.’ So, I do whatever it takes, as long as it’s moral, ethical, principled, legal.” That’s the way of the world and business, and it works that way even when the liberals don’t win.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why another book on the 2008 campaign, a year after the inauguration of President Obama? What more is there to say about a race that was covered day in and day out by newspapers, magazines, television, radio and bloggers?
