The Yemeni Front

This report is interesting because even as it parrots the Jihad narrative, it provides more in depth background information and perspective on American, Saudi, and Iranian involvement in Yemen than anything we have seen from just about any US “news” outlet.

What a sad comment on the state of US/Western media, that “Jihad TV” is a better source of information pertinent to this aspect of the world war we are engaged in.

Our MSM is hopeless. To compromised by politics to be useful to anyone.
What struck me about the video, even if it is propaganda. Its got more truth from real Information than a years worth of articles from the Wests "Journalists".
The Press here consider themselves celebrities. They never get there hands dirty.Or tell a truth when a lie will do.
Here its gotten to the point where you would have to be on LSD to switch from reality to the warped view of the Socialists that infest every
institution we have.
Endemic journalistic decadence.

I recommend the John Batchelor Show
(podcast)
which for a long time has had frequent reports from Yemen.

This 4 hour nightly show undoubtedly is the most information packed show on the airwaves
(and internet)

Probably regularly run talk shows just outside Osama's place.

But I am not sure how involved the Americans have been in Yemen, if they are busy transmitting their punch, ie talking for 2 days now about possible strikes, publically stating they are now picking targets. Just like saying I'll shoot when I count to three
one....two......two and a quarter....two and a half.....two and five eighths.....two and 11 16ths...

I don't know about the rest of you, but I didn't find the reporting any more biased than what I've seen on the American or Canadian MSM. And at least with Al Jazeera, they're open about their bias!

P.S. I very much concur with what Allan said about John Batchelor's show. I've listened to it for years. Now that he is back to a full week of programming, it truly is invaluable stuff. The best/easiest way to listen is to install iTunes and get the podcasts. Then there are no commercials and you can skip ahead to what you want to hear.

The mainstream media is too busy sending "Lifestyles" reporters into war zones (to die) to cover the important issues like combat barbers, cute soft a furry bomb sniffing doggies, and the gorgeous raw beauty of Panjwaii to bother with all the tripe that is reality.

"“Jihad TV” is a better source of information..."

That's because a bunch of wanky terrorists are no threat to Western civilization. The MSM Left, now that's a threat.

We don't have barbarians at the gate. We have a bunch of toothless hillbillies at the gate. Our problem is the poisoners in the kitchen.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
