Geez...this is basically an admission that the only news you ingest comes from conservative websites. SMH...really?

First of all, Rivera isn't a conservative, so I can trust his word somewhat (with supporting evidence nearby). But still, a million conservative bloggers would've put any clip like that on YouTube to support their typical anti Al Jazeera position.

So please, find that clip. An incident like that would be quite infamous, and would have lots of notoriety. It's gotta be out there somewhere.

Wow! That's what they're reduced to coming up with?

LMAO...this thread isn't putting the anti-Al Jazeera crowd in much of a good light. It's just nothing but weak inference and innuendo. Not a shred of hard evidence.

Why won't they just say it: "Rush and Hannity said its bad, so its bad."

Easy enough.

They're not horrifically bad, they're just kinda Fox News for the terrorist set, which should bother you if you're a Fox News whiner.

I'm speaking of the full-strength Arabic version mind you, not the happy rainbows version they pipe in for the kafir.

They would do things like claim Americans were blowing up ambulances in Iraq by showing edited footage of US soldiers shooting at them while leaving out the parts where you saw terrorists loading weapons into them, etc.

Al Jazeera's biggest problem is they don't air things which are damaging to the Qatari government, which is fairly repressive. But in that respect they're no worse than the BBC or any other state-owned media source, and in many cases they do a much better job reporting on issues especially in the Middle East than western news agencies. Other than that, they alright. Not as fun to watch as Russia Today, but what is.
