When MSNBC discarded Keith Olbermann, al-Qaida mourned.

So reports David Ignatius, the Washington Post columnist who has gained exclusive access to some of the documents recovered from Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

In his Wednesday column in the Washington Post, Ignatius reported on the details of a 21-page letter to bin Laden written by al-Qaida media adviser Adam Gadahn. Though the letter was undated, Ignatius says that it was likely written sometime after November 2010.

Laying out the current media landscape for the now waterlogged terrorist kingpin, Gadahn, an American-born Jewish convert to Islam, lamented the “firing” of Olbermann from MSNBC.

al-Qaida media adviser Adam Gadahn ... an American-born Jewish convert to Islam

As Mr. Spock would say, "Fascinating."

It does seem pretty clear that Islamists are not motivated by racial anti-semitism.

I guess Al-Qaida took an indirect shot at Fox News by not mentioning them...

I thought PMSNBC replaced the old Radio Albania.
For those too young to remember, Radio Albania made
made the old Soviet Radio Moscow look like today’s
FOX news.
Every sentence had the term “Marxist/Leninist”
included.
I have to confess, however, I have yet to see MSNBC.
Fortunately, it is not available on my satellite.
Neither is Commie News Network, but I do get FOX, much
of which is too liberal for my taste, but the little Marxist
call it FAUX news, so it must be OK.

“ Gadahn hated Fox News,” Ignatius writes. “[H]e liked MSNBC but complained about the firing of Keith Olbermann; he had mixed feelings about CNN (better in Arabic than in English) and made flattering comments about CBS and ABC.

What are the differences between Libs and terrorists, again? LOL

Olbermann’s Arbitron ratings: #1 with Islamist terrorists, 18-35.

I used to be able to piss directly on my TV set. But now I’ve got to walk out on the cold deck to pump my bilge on the flowers.

Dart guns worked for me. They stick to the screen.

WOW! And they said any terror was all Sarah’s fault.

LOL. Didn’t you see? I am so so so so so so . . . etc.
I hope your week is going well.

got lost, in the so..so.. so.. :-)

Very true. Newt and Palin - both have proven that beyond doubt. As for the rest, their record as cowards is there for all to see. Their lack of pushback against the media, in fact their embracing of media memes is likewise there for all to see.

i bet the POS puts it on his resume...
