American Journalists Rub Elbows with Terror-Friendly Middle East Dictatorship

via Accuracy in Media:

Media figures David Gregory of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” David Brooks of The New York Times, Fareed Zakaria of CNN’s “GPS,” Margaret Warner of PBS’s “Newshour,” and Riz Khan of Al-Jazeera English are among the speakers at the eighth Annual U.S.-Islamic World Forum in Washington, D.C. this week. The event is “held in partnership” with Qatar, the Middle East dictatorship that funds and sponsors the terror channel Al-Jazeera and has links to al-Qaeda.
QOTD (from a portion of the above linked article):
Steve Kull, director of the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, said he wasn’t aware of the blogger’s plight either but that Arabs favor freedom of the press.
