Actually I find Al-jazzera quite good for a television news source. They have a much better track record at allowing a diversity of opinions on a subject on air. Much better than US sources. I was abroad this summer when the conflicts happened in Lebanon. Even the English language US owned international sources (CNN international ABC international etc) were much better at reporting than the local us national version.

i agree 100% with you. thats why i think its really important we get our news from all kinds of sources. there are more honest reporters out there.... but unfortunately the news most people get their info from all seem to have their agenda. :(

and reporters are being presurrred by the business minded owners to report or not report. Media needs some reforms for sure.

Anyone every see amy Goodman talk about the failure of media in a time of war? You can view the video free online here....

I'm just wondering....Those of you that say Al Jazeera is not a good news source, do you have it? Do you watch it regularly? Do you even understand it?

That is true without a doubt. However I do watch Al Jazeera and I think its quite good. I tend to watch many channels, BBC, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, and I read the articles. I figure the truth is in there somewhere.

I access to al-jazeera but there is the language barrier. I have to reply on other sources to help me understand what i am seeing. Everything points to the fact that they are a top-notch media outlet. One interesting way to measure television media is to wath it witht he sound turned off- look at the graphics, who the guests are, what topics are being covered.

What we see in the America media does not even compare to what we see in the international version of the same companies. CNN vs CNN international for example. I was shocked by what I heard ABC international say about the events in Lebanon this summer because you woul dnever have heard these things on ABC at home. These companies know and understand who their audience is.

Good for both of you. Research shows that all of us tend to gravitate to the media that closely represents our own views. That is never a good thing if it is your only surce of news.

An interesting study showed that when a control group watched the same story on CNN- those with conversaie views denouced it as liberal bias and the liberals denoucned it as conservative bias. facinating to me

I agree, I'm glad that you do see the quality in Al Jazeera. I think that most people on VJ who claim that Al Jazeera is not a good media outlet didn't come to that assesment by watching it. I would be willing to assume that most here don't understand what they are saying and I just can't figure out how they came to that assesment.

I have never been the kind to follow one crowd. More interesting is that if you do watch several news channels you will find that alot of them report pretty much the same stuff, with a few minor differences.

A leader saying outrageous things doesn't necessarily make him a threat. Chavez says crazy things all the time too. Just a few years ago, an EU poll had Israel as the biggest threat to peace. Threat is often perception.

so if george bush made some provacative statements about morocco, or egypt, you'd just dismiss such as the raving of a lunatic and not be up in arms? :rolleyes:

So no one really answered what would happen in the media were the subject changed from building a fake Arab town to building a fake Israeli town.

How can one claim God cares to judge a fornicator over judging a lying, conniving bully? I guess you would if you are the lying, conniving bully.

Yank and Canuck media, with the exception of The Globe And Mail, is notorious for missing such stories.

In London papers or BBC, probably would get a few letters-to-editor and then interest would disappear (little reaction in US or Canada as only a few people even peruse Brit media here).
