Aljazeera English
 

Has anyone here seen this channel?, when I first heard about it I thought that it might bring some enlightenment to the west, but just take a look at thier channel on youtube. They didn't say anything about Gaza until today, and they probably only said something because arabs kept putting comments about it.

I really thought they would be a different kind of channel.

Yeah I've already seen it a couple of times... I rather the arabic one though :) Actually don't be surprised if you hear a European say HA are terrorists... It's perfectly normal to think so when one takes into account the kind of information Europeans are given (for instance in France - I live there and I read the newspapers). People fail to look by themselves to the media around the world. They just watch the 8 o' clock news and believe every word of it...

I recall reading, couple of weeks ago, in a popular paper, an article about the problems in Kenya. The article was actually just a couple of lines, definitely less than 100 words. Then I flipped a couple of pages, and there was this article twice, or even three times longer than the one about Kenya, which was dedicated to Britney Spears. She got caught buying a s*x tape in a store or something... Around the same time, there was the story of Sarkozy marrying Bruni... That thing was like pages long. And International News was like half a page.

Moreover, their articles are heavily biased. Like in 02/08 when HN made his speeches, I watched those (22/02 what a speech!!!), and next day, in International News it said "Nasrallah declares open war" in one of the articles...
