Canadian Jewish Congress and B'nai B'rith Suddenly, Strangely Not Concerned About Al Jazeerah

Official Jews do about face on Al Jazeerah?

"Bernie Farber, CEO of the Canadian Jewish Congress, said in an interview that neither his organization or B'nai Brith Canada opposed the Al Jazeera English application, in part because of Burman's assurances to leaders of Canadian's Jewish community earlier this year that a liaison committee would be formed to respond quickly to any concerns raised about content on the network. Farber noted that Al Jazeera Arabic "continues to this very day to broadcast some very, very problematic programs that would never see the light of day here in Canada because of CRTC regulations."

"Much of what I've seen of Al Jazeera English is not a problem. As a matter of fact, their real concentration, interestingly enough, has been on the north-south divide as opposed to the Middle East. That's good. I think that's the kind of work they should do because it's an area that is not focused on here in North America and good for them for doing that," Farber added.

So, the Jews get to sit on an Al Jazeerah content committee and all of the sudden they are free speechers, on behalf of Al Jazeerah? Can anyone follow the logic here?
