The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower may be one of the oldest aircraft carriers in the U.S. Navy, but it’s still fighting — despite repeated false claims by Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

“I think it’s been about two or three times in the past six months we’ve allegedly been sunk, which we have not been,” Hill told The Associated Press during a recent visit to the carrier. “It is almost comical at this point. They’re attempting to maybe inspire themselves through misinformation, but it doesn’t work on us.”

    Al Jazeera is both:

    • Sponsored by the Qatari government
    • The best journalism in the Middle East

    Don’t trust their reporting on Qatar, but everything else is pretty good. While other networks rely on second hand info, Al Jazeera will send reporters into literal war zones to find out the truth.

      It’s not even actual journalism. The report rumors and gossip as fact, constantly. It’s a glorified anti western tabloid. It’s radical panislamist fan fiction, as in this example: there was no attack on the USS Eisenhower.
