Indeed Dave, I just checked http://www.aljazeerah.us/

Sorry to have to say this- but isn't Al Jazeera just the Eurasia to CNN and Sky's Oceania?

"Coalition says victory is near!"
"Another American helicopter shoit down!"
"Thousands of Iraqi's surrender!"
"Americans bomb hundreds of innocents..."

I don't trust one over the other.

Come to think of it in this day and age I find any if not all news-sources spurious to say the least.

bloggs · 02-09-2003 5:04pm

Hmmm perhaps if we watch extreme pro-American news and extreme anti-American news we will get a balance broadcast :P

The Beer Baron · 02-09-2003 5:38pm

I find it more like a tug-of-war if you excuse the pun.

Exellent! ... check the cartoons at the bottom.

sorry....eh,...I thought the idea was to read as many news sources as you could and then form your own views..
the above was just another....
and biasedl IMO is all relative to who you are and where you live really isn't it...
I didn't really post it up to discuss it..it was more of a FYI...

The Beer Baron · 02-09-2003 10:31pm

eh,...I thought the idea was to read as many news sources as you could and then form your own views..

Yeah, cool.
No I agree with you totally on that one.

In fact I found myself reading as much Al Jazz during Operation **** Iraq up the Ass as I was reading BBC, CNN, Pravda, Arab Times...

You do get a different perspective.
But of course, as with these nu-skool media wars you can't help feeling like you're watching it with blinkers on.

It's this utter sense of helplessness really, this sense of- I know I should be outraged at what's going on- but, eeeh?
What is going on?!
