Press TV and al-Jazeera lost a lot of credibility w/ their latest claim about the death of Marie Renee. I applaud Ma’an for setting the record straight.

I have to accept that no news channel is 100% bias free, but their coverage of the elections bordered on farcical - very FOX News like.

She promotes herself as some activist focused on Human rights issues, Gays in Uganda, Iranian Protesters. But will not touch the I/P conflict just like everyone else in the MSM she fell in line. No Goldstone Report, no Rosen Weissman espionage investigation or dismissed trial, no Gaza Freedom March. Rachel has and continues to be promoted as out of the box. She keeps the I/P issue in the box in a closet. She is no different than the rest of the MSM on these critical issues. Silence out of Rachel Exactly.
