The military interim government in Cairo is cracking down on a key adversary satellite news network Al Jazeera, which is widely seen as being biased in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Cabinet has assigned competent authorities to assess the legal status of the Al Jazeera satellite channel, accusing it of threatening stability and national security, local media said, according to a report on the Egypt Independent Sunday.
The New York Times noted Sunday that while the military interim government had already shut down all of the Egyptian television networks that supported President Mohamed Morsi on the night of Morsi's ouster in the last four days, the new authorities have raided and shut down the offices of the pan-Arab Al Jazeera network, taken steps to deny its Egyptian license and, on Sunday, arrested its correspondent Abdullah El-Shamy on charges of inciting murder and sectarian violence.
Al Jazeera, is based in Qatar and is the only big Arabic-language network that is considered biased in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood. It is widely seen as a key agitator in the rebellions that have spread throughout the Arab world in the last two years.

The bloggers are doing an excellent job of cutting off advertisers from Al Jazeera television also. Mass emails to these advertisers is forcing them to stop buying air time on Al Jazeera. So far Hersheys has dropped Al Jazeera, so has Foster Grant and many others. The most recent advertiser to drop al Jazeera advertisements was .....are you ready for this? Reputation.com! lol! Ya think? Ahhh! Welllll! Better late than never.
Soon there will be no paying advertisers on Al Jazeera and they will have to dip into their own pockets to spread their brand of anti - semitism! - Jeri
