High profit margins on Muslim sponsored clips...hmmm.

Just from how differently they treat their library of clips from Muslim areas and Israeli areas you can tell that the old adage is true:

He who pays the piper, calls the tune.

I only had the 3 major networks' news for years. Depending on the location and schedule, they programmed for 5 and 5:30.

Many times at the end of one (5:00), I would switch to the other network (5:30). The one noticeable thing was the lack of variety. Both supposedly covered the World, yet their 30 minute broadcasts covered basically the same news items -- even on slow news days. Many of the reports on one network news were not only similar, but nearly word-for-word on the other network. About the only difference between one network and the other was the order of the stories covered.

Footage such as the Palestinian mob joyfully lynching two Israeli reservists in Ramallah in October 2000 is held by APTN’s library: any attempt to license this film for reshow is carefully vetted. Requests for the use of “sensitive clips” are referred directly to the Library director. This is not the case with clips that paint Israel in a bad light. Likewise, the re-showing of Palestinian celebrations on 9/11 is considered “sensitive”.

I guess the examination and exposure of the bias and systematic attempt to influence and manipulate world opinion is in its infancy.

I often wonder how many in the US are taking big Arab money under the table. I think it is safe to say that folks like Ritter and McKinney are, but I wonder how many others, in more influential positions. Remember how Clark Clifford was in bed with them over the BCCC bank?

What this means is that while there are around 50 people producing news pictures for the whole world working in Camden at any time, there are a further 50 Arabic speaking staff producing finished stories exclusively for the Arab states of the gulf. This has a tremendous effect on the whole feel of the building as these two teams feed pictures and people back and forth and sit in adjacent work areas. The slant of the stories required by the Gulf States has a definite effect on which footage is used and discarded. This affects both the Gulf newsroom and the main global newsroom.

The problem with the Associated Press and Reuters is the lack of competition. The Little Green Footballs web site has been so busy this last week that it is often difficult to view. People want alternatives. There is a hugh business opportunity there for somebody wanting to start up an AP alternative. They could become the next FOX News.

Bump.

Gods Learning Chanel (GodsLearningChannel.com) is an exception to this article. It is a tv station in West Texas that is a privately owned (Prime Time Christian Broadcasting) that broadcasts 24 hours a day 7days a week; and is the only station that carries a daily news cast from Israel. INN plus they have a daily Discovering Bibical Israel which is taken on their yearly trips/tours to Israel and they film them, and broadcast these. Excellent stuff.

They are now (a few months ago) broadcasting on the 1A-5 Satellite, and also now the Indian APR-1 Satellite: also since about a month ago they are also going into the Phillipines over this same Indian APR-1. Amazing. God is at work in this.

It can be viewed on the internet

In the afternoon they have a couple of childrens and teen agers programing too.

They don't have to pay them. They simply have to threaten them.
