'Setting 'an agenda' alright!'
Al Jazeera knew all along that Parvatz left Damascus on May1 (FLC, here)... As to why Al Jazeera decides to sort of speak truthfully, today, on Parvatz' whereabouts, I figure that as the tempo decreases in Damascus, focus needs to shift elsewhere... [.FLC reported that Parvatz was in Iran and that even her US senator knew that, on May5.]

You were right all along! Who needs all the "hard-hitting" well-connected western media when we have you around! Al-Jazeera even spoke to Reem Haddad, an Information Ministry spokesman, and it was as if they were interrogating her on Parvatz and she kept telling them "I wouldn't know". It was like asking an Agricultural Ministry spokesman about how the Health Ministry plans to deal with H1N1 this year.
touchy touchy anon.
Besides, why were you at al Jazeera interrogating the Min of Inf when Parvatz was supposed to have entered Syria for tourism? I would hardly expect you, at al jazeera, to interrogate a Homeland Security spokesman on the whereabouts of a tourist from Croatia who gets stranded & deported...
hard hitting & well connected: Abou Mahmood & Nisr & Umm Kawkab ...hardly ...
But hey if you enjoy Al Jaz ..
I was being sarcastic about the hard-hitting well-connected part. Almost all western reporters are douche bags, and that's not an exaggeration. I hate al-Jazeera now not just for the garbage they're pulling with Syria, but for killing the dream of a pan-Arab media. Sometimes you just have to remember all media is funded by money, and as long as that is the case, it will never be truly independent.
sorry. My bad!
