Meh, they should be arrested for having active links to Al-Q. I mean who is always getting these Osame videos first? Something besides Racer during Showtime\'s drag queen week is definitely up with them.

Al-Jazeera is the mouthpiece of terrorism. To hell with them. They\'re influential, alright. In a distinctly bad way.

Sure, it might seem that way if your only source of information is Fox News. I know they have been inciting against al-Jazeera.

Fox News - Mouthpiece of the Bush Regime.. ;)

Source? Do they fund terrorists? No? I dont see why they should be arrested, they have already been shot at and bombed (killing several al-Jazeera employees), getting the videotapes first is not surprising, they are the biggest ME news network.

I like to see things from both perspectives, that way I can draw my own conclusions, instead of having someone draw/filter them for me (FOX).

I most definately agree.

Props to Al Jazeera for having the balls to show what no other news organization will. Journalism is about the freedom of information. With more and more Bush policy propaganda seeping out of U.S. media coverage and with our censors heavy on the black marker, it is refreshing for an alternate news organization to not be afraid of what (oh god oh god) the "fragile" minds of the public might think.

Give me a god damn break.

They\'re not being an \'alternative source\'. They are riling up the Arabs and inciting violence against us under the guise of journalism.

Whose purpose is served by delivering Al-Qaeda\'s messages to the masses? None but Al-Qaeda\'s, of course.

Frankly, my nation is at war. And I want our enemies dead. I couldn\'t give half a shit whether their opinions are heard or not. The only thing I want to hear out of them is screams of pain. By serving as their courier, Al-Jazeera functions as their tool, and thus, to me, they are guilty of prolonging and deepening this conflict.

How can anyone give them \'props\' for being an alternative to Fox? That\'s sickening. I wonder how many Arabs give props to Fox for being an alternative to Al-Jazeera? I\'ll be the first to admit that Fox is definitely slanted to the right (and I love it), but their slant is one I agree with. Al-J is definitely slanted towards the terrorist\'s opinions, and they make no effort to be balanced and unbiased.

So what am I to take from your laudatory comments? Are you both really so ignorant as to think Al-J is unbiased, or do you support them because of their bias?

First step-acknowledging Al Jazeera as a respectable news station.

Second step-taking an AK-47 and firing into a crowd.

Getting pretty close fastson! Aim it at Mystic please.

I\'m sorry but I don\'t see the point in making overly long posts in responsediotic. If they want to take Al Jazeera seriously then I\'ll treat them like the jokes they are.

Should I even comment on what type of people these were that were polled?  I mean you have Starbucks on there - haven for black beret, poetry spouting liberals to share pseudo intellectual nonsense.

Seriously, the question was which brands had the most impact on your life in 2004.  If you are watching Al Jazeera it is quite obvious which way your flag blows on the political landscape.

Fox > any other news outlet as far as I am concerned.

Didn\'t al-Jazeera show the executions of American solders? I can\'t respect a news source that does that.

"They\'re not being an \'alternative source\'. They are riling up the Arabs and inciting violence against us under the guise of journalism. "

Yes, and I\'m sure FoxNews is doing nothing like that...


So, your saying that you would rather be ignorant of the oppositions view point because what you believe is right and should be held above anything else...hmm...isn\'t that why this country, it\'s people I mean, are seen as a bunch of assholes. Al-Jazeera is biased, because they are parallel to FoxNews. Now whether their reports influence the terrorist is totally based on opinion. Does FoxNews affect how we feel and think about the war? Also, I\'ve always learned that most wars are planned and done accordingly and avoided at all cost. Is your knowing and willing ignorance of their motives really helping this war also?

Wait, let me guess, YOU DON\'T CARE. Great, now go on stare at your poster of GWB on the wall.

Fox, huh. I wonder why...FoxNews is Bush\'s mouthpiece.

Well, if you would of watched CONTROL ROOM you would see the truth!!! How each station has to fight for new military reports and most of the crap we hear on TV comes from the military! Now, can we really trust the military to supply us with actual information?
 

About both sides of the line, seriously people this movie gets in it deep. There is one guy in the movie that works for Al-Jazeera and he says:

"I believe in the American people. I believe in the US Constitution"

He seemed damn well sure of it. Now, I won\'t say he supports the US in all this shit, but you can\'t question the integrity and motives of anybody based on your personal perception of another group or human.

So far as I remember, Fox News hasn\'t aired any videos from Americans telling American citizens to go out and slaughter innocent Muslim civilians, or threatening to kill us if we vote.

I mean, if that means I just missed it, by all means, let me know.

Honestly, our enemies don\'t hate all Americans. They know some of them are helping their cause over here.

Now go kiss a terrorist for me.

Our in-house liberals love Al-Jazeera because they offer a balance to America\'s media, which is under the control of rich, influential Jews, who are manipulating us in order to carry out their secret agendas!
