Josh Rushing explores the other side of Washington, D.C., where citizens are taxed by but not represented in Congress, where the AIDS rate is the same as in Ethiopia, where poverty reigns and politicians look the other way.

    It's very hard to receive truth when it's usually hidden from the public. This just destroyed your whole entity. The trick is not to deny and reject it; but to try and discover the truth in every possible way you can.

    g'day buddy

  • This is propaganda, and this so called american, Josh Rushing is a traitor.

  • Canada is far, far better to live in

  • Al Jezeera is so diverse!!

  • damn moe thats

    fucked up

  • I found this piece very accurate. I grew up in the 1980's in Newark, NJ. Crack was in its heyday and violence was a part of everyday life. (Even the police were afraid to come where I lived.) While I agree that there are other sides to cover,(Middle Class Blacks, poor whites) Witness has done a good thing by showing that this type of lifestyle is still very real for a lot of people.

  • As a native of Washington DC, I found this report to be pretty one-sided. No mention of the poor white areas or the black middle class areas.

  • I don't understand the responses below. It is important for people to know that DC includes neglected neighborhoods full of people with difficult lives. Of course a poor African-American family in Southeast is not representative of the overall black community, but this report never suggests that. Al Jazeera English, although still very young, has distinguished itself as a network that gives a voice to those who are too seldom listened to. They should be applauded for their efforts.

  • This is complete bollocks I think I'll do a news item that says every single Muslim is a terrorist. Ignorant Al Jazeera is no better than the BBC or CNN black people have variety don't you know some are rich some are middle class. Some of are of the left some are on the right Al Jazeer are racist sacks of shit.

  • tell me where is really better ...other countreis are worse
