This week on The Listening Post, we analyse the media's fixation with the Somali piracy story. We also take a look at what goes into making an award winning news photograph.

  • Although I commend Al-Jazeera 4 looking a little bit more into the other side of this story (more than the MSM would ever do),it still did not grasp the Scope,& Damage that Foreign illegal fishing & Toxic Waste dumping(didnt even mention toxic waste) has on the local population & Somali Sovereignty. Greenpeace reports that $300 Million A YEAR is lost by the Somali State by Foreign illegal fishermen (since the early 90's)& Toxic Waste dumping has KILLED & made ill Nationals who live on the coast.

  • Other than you being a racist, you seem ignorant enough to qualify as a redneck?

    Am I right?

  • Who told you to care Stupid? This programme cares, so why watch it?? Go take your FAT-Racist ass elsewhere.

  • This is my favourite programme on Al Jazeera

  • Why the fuck should I care about starving niggers in somalia? The more starved the less pirates there will be.

  • some how the clarity has reduced, is youtube's new format to blame?

  • These pirates thought this one out lol.

    1) Can't kill them with navy because they have become likable to the public, and you will likely lose the other ships in the process.

    2) Seized some very expensive resources.

    Seems like the simplest solution is to just pay them. Then make their planners the new leaders of the country complete with it's own starting treasury.

  • IN LIFE, you can not just be somthing bad.

    THE WORLD IS HEARTLESS and Thats why we are dying for only today's food!

  • Why are they Pirates? Because the world ignores SOMALIA?
