Update: An overlooked recent news story from Reuters last weekend:
Al-Qaida Griping About Al-Jazeera News CoverageIt's not Scrappleface - it's real.DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Al-Qaida's wing in Iraq slammed al-Jazeera television on Sunday, saying the satellite channel often criticized by Washington was siding with the United States in its reporting on the violence in the Arab country.
An al-Jazeera spokesman rejected the criticism of its coverage, saying it was balanced.
"Where are you heading, Jazeera? Why this hostility toward the mujahedeen (holy warriors)?" the group led by Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi said, according to a statement posted on an Islamist Web site.
"All the American army statements are carried and accepted, but no one carries the mujahedeen's side."
It said al-Jazeera had reported U.S. statements that its forces had killed 50 insurgents in an operation under way in western Iraq but did not broadcast the group's statement that it had shot down eight U.S. helicopters.
"Where is the claimed balance?" the statement said.
