[lbo-talk] angryarab newsservice

[Chuck Grimes]

You can detect various forms of bias in all my current favorite news
sources AJE, RT, and France 24. They are just better at it than the
US. So add Angryarab to the list. It's best to constantly cross check
all these against each other

Angryarab seems pretty good the less extensive coverage of Jordan and
Syria. I was just listening to and AJE Inside Story on Jordan. The political
science prof was very good at sleasing out of direct questions.

What emerged from the other two guys was something that I believe, but
have no way of knowing. Their charge was that Jordan's security forces and 
civilian government work in concert with the Israeli government and
therefore are completely corrupted.

The way it works is  to forment sectarian divisions in Syria and Jordan in 
order to stop various pro-democratic elements gaining a cohesive unity that 
could topple the regimes. Since this was used by the US in Iraq and 
Afghanistan, it makes perfect sense in Jordan and Syria....
