David Frost 'front man' at al-Jazeera International?

For many international observers the straw that broke the camel's back, was the announcement that former BBC newsman 'Sir' David Frost - a friend of Blair - would become some kind of international figurehead for al Jazeera International.

by Henk Ruyssenaars

FPF - Dec. 27th - 2005 - As an independent foreign correspondent I've also lived and worked for ten years in North West-Africa and the Middle East - including Gulf War I - and must admit that I lately have seen quite some eyebrows raised concerning al Jazeera - it's ownership - and the fear it's getting embedded with the mainstream propaganda media.

With all due respect and admiration for the excellent journalistic work this far done by the people working for the al Jazeera channel, and deeply regretting all journalists targeted and killed - <http://tinyurl.com/8f6dj> - I now wonder too about the course al Jazeera is taking in the present pool of journalism, larded with so much disinformation.

I've also worked for the BBC in English and German, when they still knew what journalism was. Now 'BBC' is short for "Broadcasting Blair's Crap".* I have - and had - many BBC correspondents as friends everywhere, and have seen Frost for years with his 'Breakfast show'. And I am as a senior correspondent and independent journalist - to say the least - 'not amused'. Frost - after a good start long ago - turned into a part of the British celebrity world, among the 'London bank power brokers' and money makers, and is a typical journalist who lost sight of his fellow human beings including many colleagues. Frost has become part of the problem now facing the earth, and is not part of the solution anymore.

U.S. military deliberately targeted journalists in Iraq

Remember last March? ''Recently at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Eason Jordan, a CNN executive, told a panel that the U.S. military deliberately targeted journalists in Iraq. He said he "knew of about 12 journalists who had not only been killed by American troops, but had been targeted as a matter of policy," said Rep. Barney Frank (Dem) from Massachusetts who was on the panel with Jordan." - <http://tinyurl.com/bkzum> - One could read in China and Cuba about it, but I'm still waiting for those exclusive interviews by Frost with the originators of the 'friendly fire': the killers of his colleagues. He could ask Blair.
