wtf, i thought this is about iraq, looksz like they just wanna do "infidel bashing". fuck al jazeera

[shiftigizm]

bwmeyer it is a misconception that Al-Jazeera showed beheadings. This false report was made by Fox News, and was later retracted with an apology. Unfortunately, the report made an impact that was not erased by the retraction.

I am enjoying the exchange of ideas on this news forum that does not inlude the news anchor butting in quite as often as on US TV. The lack of commercial interuption is another plus.

The quests also behave themselves better, without getting in to the shouting matches that I see on domestic US news programs.

Aljazeera will definitely be on my list of places to look for world news.

Perhaps Al Jazeera will show us some beheadings of innocent people. That's what they also consider to be fair journalism.

As americans, we need this viewpoint. Criticism of our foreign policy should be constructive at the citizen-level of the American system.

Wow...rich debate. Very informative.

This is the way U.S. News programming used to be before corporate consolidation.

Currently, Al Jazeera, seems to be a fair and open forum for the free exchange of ideas. Please do not change. Please do not succumb to commercial and religious pressures as have your American counter-parts!

The people need real and up-to-date information; not entertainment and mind-numbing trivia. We need facts and multiple perspectives of the world's most important issues.

It used to be like this?

Wow, if only I was born earlier.

Very impressive! Much more in-depth than a typical US news program. The guests were allowed to give thorough responses to questions. I look forward to more entries in this series.
