| Subject: Charlie Hebdo support rankles Al Jazeera staff, leaked emails reveal Sun Jan 11, 2015 8:07 pm | |
| Leaked Al Jazeera emails reveal that the news outlet was not so keen to get behind the “Je suis Charlie” movement following the Charlie Hebdo terror attacks in Paris that left 12 dead.
Al Jazeera English editor and executive producer Salah-Aldeen Khadr sent out a staff-wide email with guidelines on how the Qatar-based news source would make it’s coverage of the attack “the best it can be,” National Review reported Friday.
Mr. Khadr requested that his employees to ask if this was “really an attack on ‘free speech,’” to discuss whether “I am Charlie” is an “alienating slogan,” caution viewers against “making this a free speech aka ‘European Values’ under attack binary [sic], and portray the attack as “a clash of extremist fringes.”
