[Downfacingdog]

AlJazeera, the neo-communist, Zionist friendly news agency, should do a propaganda peice on the United States and it's stiled media.

lol both saddam huissein and donald rumsfeld critisized AJ

[jimiydoorshamelech]

Rachel Corries fellow workers said she RAN in front of the bulldozer and then KNEELED in front of it, something they said was not allowed and was never and not supposed to be done, an accident, not like..

Profile of Canadian-Iranian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi: She had been arrested while reportedly photographing protesting relatives of students held at Evin prison. The doctor examining her body determined that she died from a fractured skull and had been beaten, tortured, and gang-raped.

AlJazeera  news is always fearless and impressive.

[Ayeere]

i'll agree when i see dirt on thier host country, Qatar.

[PauloGVieira]

Qatar was used as a base to re-fuel American planes on their way to Israel as it bombed Lebanon. I didnt hear this on Al-Jazeera.

Having said this Al-Jazeera is the best international news source in the world today.

Theres BBC Arab now look there

[terajasoos]

this ahmednejad guy is going 2 drown da whole iranian nation with him---i know some ppl there and inflation is very high coupled with unemployment---even if someone works, they cant keep up with rising petrol,food,and rent prices---instead of wasting money on arms

[persia20005]

waisting money on arms?

with a evil nation like usa every single country in the world should put his money in arms.else we even have mc donalds on the fockin northpole in couple years.

the mideast region includes saudi arabia!! how unfree! "[In Israel] journalists enjoy a freedom not found elsewhere in the region."

- Reporters Without Borders, 2007

Source: "Israel - Annual Report 2007,"Reporters Without Borders Web site

According to 'Reporters Without Borders' Iran continues to be the largest prison for the press in the Middle East, and in the organization's annual estimation on freedom of the press in the world in 2007 Iran ranks as number 166 out of 169 total countries

YaAllahYaMuhammad:

how can you use Gods and the Prophets name in your nickname and spread lies and falsehood.

You don´t live in Iran my friend. Your criticism to US should not make you love Ahmadinejad.

Get real my brother...

[YaAllahYaMuhammad]

PandoraFugazi:

Spread lies and falsehood? First of all i never said i lived in Iran, but that i have been in Iran many times, including most countries in the Middle East (also Saudi). Audhobillah brother, spreading lies and falsehood is never my intention.

The reason for my comment was only because i am otherwise satisfied with Aljazeeras' balanced reporting. My love is not with any person but with Islam, and i defend the unity of our Religion as commanded by Allah in the Holy Quran (Al imran)

[YaAllahYaMuhammad]

This is a shamefull documentary from aljazeera, and this correspondent should not try to imitate the way of CNN, Fox News etc. If he was so concerned about free press, why didnt he say a word about the way SAUDI ARABIA controls the press? Or the USA for that matter, which gave CNN a monopoly on covering the 2nd.Gulf War 1991.

I have been in Iran and read critisism on politics, economy and lots of areas, dont forget that Mossad openly "cooperate" with reporters that support their "views".

[Ayeere]

lol Aljazeera makes one video that is not anti US, and people freak out.

[danthg]

why is this shameful? Al jazeera did feature censorship in saudi (more detailed than this) in recent Listening Post episode.

Just that it is done by fox news does not mean it is bad. Censorship is bad for Iranians, and Al Jazeera is doing the right thing by bringing this to light.

If aljazeera only cover what are bad in US, Saudi, etc but not those in Iran, then AJ is just Mideast version of Fox News

[brick4sale]

I've seen Iranian news it some the most ridiculous propaganda, it's as bad as FOX News or Israeli TV News.

[abarzilai664]

The Keyhan editor saying there is no censorship is bull. Here a fact, during the Shah's reign this paper was with him until he fell

[colmmernagh]

No way,a government that manipulates the media ! Ive never heard of such a thing !
