According to an interview broadcast by the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya news channel, prince Abdul Rahman al-Faisal is the ruler of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS).
Prince Abdul Rahman al-Faisal, a graduate of Sandhurst military academy, is the brother of Foreign Affairs Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal, and of Prince Turki al-Faisal, Saudi Ambassador to the United-States and the United-Kingdom.
ISIS is the Al-Qaeda branch in Iraq and Syria. It figures on the UN list of terrorist organizations. It Is funded by the United-States, by virtue of a law adopted for fiscal year 2014 during a Congress session behind closed doors [1]. It benefited of a logistical support from Turkey inside Syria.
Ayman al-Zawahiri reacted to this revelation by saying that he would peel off the Al-Qaeda label from the ISIS (a decision made after the legal funding by the US).

Probably because it is such obvious BS even the most inept CNN journalist recognizes it as such.
You used the word 'inept' in the same sentence with CNN as though they weren't the same thing!
Circlejerk, Not News is so blatantly slanted, it's akin to listening to NPR and expecting to hear support for anything American.

Please provide proof for your claims of BS.
Now please provide evidence that you didn't realise it was BS before you posted it.
Originally posted by twhiteheadAre you saying that the news channel does not exist, or reported it in error? or fabricated the details. Simply saying that its BS because it comes from a Saudi owned news channel is meaningless drivel. Its equally illogical to make any claims on the basis that it was excursively reported by a particular channel. Exclusiveness or non exclusiveness is not a valid criteria for determining whether a claim is true or false.

Sorry but I am uninterested in your feeble and vain attempts to make the debate personal and I would be pleased if you managed to argue objectively or not at all.

Its as stupid as saying "according to a small radio station in China, the president of Scotland is Robbie Carrobie".

It is BS not because of the ownership of the news channel but because the news channel had to be referenced at all. We are talking about the ruler of what amounts to a nation or claimed caliphate.

It is when the information, if true, should be public knowledge.

I ask you again: did you know it was BS before you posted it?
You have four choices:
1. Question dodge once again.
2. Admit your stupidity.
3. Admit your dishonesty.
4. 2. and 3.

You do this a lot. You claim something is not valid but provide nothing and it is annoying. This is the debates forum so either debate or shut up.

Let me help you parse it out.

Nothing said prior to this supports what follows.
...but because the news channel had to be referenced at all.
The inference suggests the citation was provided for reasons other than the expected first purpose, i.e., to allow the reader to see for themselves.
It is when the information, if true, should be public knowledge.
Off the reservation completely here.
This circular reasoning renders 'news' literally all 'news' an impossibility: any breaking story, any scoop, hell: any weather report must immediately be discarded as it does not adhere to the label "public knowledge."
You might want to pick that sentence up, give it a good shake and reset it with more precision and logic, less hyperbole.
You have four choices:
1. Question dodge once again.
2. Admit your stupidity.
3. Admit your dishonesty.
4. 2. and 3.
Logic demands a fifth option:
5. Stand by the article.
See how much fun it is working logically?
The clarity, the shedding of light on darkened topics...
The objectivity is so much more refreshing compared to being bogged down by agendas, petty politics.

ISIS is the Al-Qaeda branch in Iraq and Syria.
Even the most casual observer of conflicts in the Middle East knows that Al-Qaeda and ISIS are not only different organizations, but actually enemies. Until about two weeks ago the Al-Qaeda branch in the Levant was the al-Nusra Front, and they renamed themselves Jabhat Fateh al-Sham and cut ties with Al-Qaeda. Here's a nice CNN story if you're interested:

Ok lets go to the source and examine its content
London schoolgirl who joined ISIS ‘killed in Raqqa’
Attorney Tasnime Akunjee said the family of Kadiza Sultana learned of her death in Raqqa, Syria, a few weeks ago.
She was believed to have been killed by a Russian air strike in Raqqa, ITV News reported earlier on Thursday.
Sultana was making plans to return to Britain and her family was communicating with her to discuss her possible escape from Raqqa, according to an interview published by ITV with Sultana’s sister, which includes recordings of purported phone calls between the sisters.
Sultana, 16, along with two other friends, flew from London’s Gatwick Airport to Turkey on Feb. 17, 2015.
The British Home Office and British Interior Ministry could not be reached immediately for a comment.
It would seem that the articles are well crafted, informative, concise, cite references, have excellent imagery and are factual, a rather refreshing contrast to much of at passes for quality journalism. We are them left wondering about your objection. Uponn what is it based and we can find no evidence which supports the premise that the source itself being cited should lead us to the collusion that its BS, despite the ill informed, unsubstantiated, uncorroborated and demonstrably false claims you have made. Why citing references means that an article is BS is not readily apparent.
Your statement concerning China as Freaky has pointed out is a non sequitur that Ralph Wiggum would be proud of. The rest of the arguments themselves are so lacking that it begs belief, all exclusive information, all localised information would be negated and deemed untrustworthy if framed in your ludicrous parameters.
You have a single choice, please find the tone control and turn all the way up, its like shooting tin cans with a sawn off shotgun.

Why? Did you misunderstand what I said or something?
I see you decided to go for options 1 through 4!
