Al Jazeera Men sacrificed their Professional Ethics for ONLF Terrorists
Ethio Boy

It is to be recalled that on December 27, 2007 someone wrote about a piece of drama which was performed in the eastern part of Ethiopia, known as Ogaden. The story was about the lobby of Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) Al Jazeera TV reporters to take and air pictures of its injured soldiers as if they are civilians with a view to disseminating baseless allegation against the government. http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/47226.
Now it is clear that the lobby was successful and after a long time Al Jezeera TV has aired those dramatized and fabricated news recently.
This action of Al Jazeera is not only serving terrorists but also against the honored ethics of journalism. Here I want to beg my readers and the international community to defend principles of journalism from distraction. If journalism changes itself into market center, it is the saddest thing the people of the world ever faced.
