CNNs coverage of the protests in the middle east was much better.
"It's like on twitter and stuff"
...for half an hour at a time.
Don't watch/read Al Jazeera but heck, if it's not in Obama's back pocket that's more than I can say for our media.
What do you mean by "cubicle media love"?
Why would I want to listen to a foreign news station bash the US? We've got MSNBC for that.Media stations here in the US or only what you want to hear per say...

So you can understand different perspectives....
No doubt there are endless ways to bash the US. You never hear anyone bash the Russians, guess they're afraid the Russians may come a kill them. :shrug:

Sounds like you're only interested in Americans having different perspectives. How much "understanding" does Al Jazeera display (I honestly don't know)? It's just kind of amazing to me that nobody in this thread allows for the possibility that anti-American reporting may not be entirely factually accurate.
And it's kind of amazing to me that so many people automatically dismiss any (real or perceived) "anti-American reporting" as lies propagated by people who are either confused, dishonest, or evil. Is it really so hard to imagine that not everyone in the world views the United States as the sole arbiter of everything good?
When Al-Jazeera reports the news, they do it from an Arab perspective. That is, from the perspective of people who have had the US occupy their lands, bomb them, prop up their dictators, and support their biggest perceived enemy...all while preaching "freedom" to them. Is it really so unbelievable that under those circumstances, Arabs might dislike the United States...and not because they're ignorant of the "truth" and/or crazy extremists?
Yes, when I'm told the US is the great evil in the world, not matter who says it, I dismiss it.

I believe the US does a lot of good. I have to question any news source that is unable or unwilling to recognize that.And this has what to do with Al-Jazeera?
Yeah, it was a cheap shot and I apologize for it (sincerely).Swell. Excellent rebuttal. My opinion of your intelligence has just gone up a notch.

Also have done a "fairly good amount of bad" tho also... Which you generally dont hear...
Just saying why is it so wrong and anti american to hear a different perspective of things?
