Hamas: We Met Obama Advisers


www.wnd.com
JERUSALEM – Hamas held a meeting in the Gaza Strip several months ago with aides to President-elect Barack Obama, but the terror group was asked to keep the contacts secret until after last week's elections, according to a senior Hamas official.

Ahmed Yousef, Hamas' chief political adviser in Gaza, told the leading Al-Hayat Arabic-language newspaper Hamas has maintained regular communication with Obama aides that even continued during the past week.

ATS runs MSNBC and blatantly partisan ads, which is currently exploding in a rapturous orgasm for democrats/Obama. I cant beleive most of you would post here if they ran Fox ads.

Oh but, the bias here is ok, right?

You know this already, but I'll go ahead and put it in a reply. WND is an exclusively far-right conspiracy website whose current headlines are related to Obama and playing upon far-right paranoid anxieties. This theme occupies page after page on the website. ATS is, as you must know, a community website where anyone from any political party can come to post his or her opinions. ATS is not in the business of catering to one isolated political party. If you believe it is, you ought to take a better look at the threads currently operating here.

To compare ATS to WND is absolute idiocy--a few MSNBC ads on ATS's website does not come remotely close to being comparable to World Net Daily. And anyway, WND presents itself as a reliable news source, akin to FOX, MSNBC, CNN, and the like (albeit without any article that doesn't pertain to the perceived American conservative plight). ATS presents itself as no such thing. We are a website that only promises to allow anyone to come with their own stories and questions regarding any topic, from aliens to ghosts to the president of our country and everything in between.

Though I don't believe it exists, the existence of any "bias" on ATS doesn't really matter. I am not going to be quoting ATS as a reliable source of news as you have done with World Net Daily.
