Offended by the news coverage of your dirty war? Hack it, discredit it, Bomb it!

You would think that reputable international news organizations would be off the list of bombing targets -- you would be wrong. Trump did not invent antagonism to news media.  This article highlights the NSA's illegal hacking of news media but US military bombing of offending news organizations started many years ago.

The document is dated March 23, 2006, a time during which Al Jazeera was repeatedly criticised by then-US President George W Bush for its coverage of the Iraq war and the war in Afghanistan. 

Two years earlier, in 2004, Bush allegedly discussed bombing Al Jazeera's headquarters in Doha with then-British Prime Minister Tony Blair, according to British media reports.
Officials in Washington, DC have dismissed that story. 

Al Jazeera has been targeted multiple times by the US government, most notably several bombings of its offices. 

In 2001, a bomb from a US air force plane hit the Al Jazeera bureau in Kabul, Afghanistan, destroying the building, despite the US being aware of the exact coordinates of the offices. 

Then, in April 2006, a US bomb hit the Al Jazeera bureau in Baghdad, Iraq, killing journalist Tareq Ayyoub and injuring one other person. US forces were again aware of the exact coordinates of the office.
