Aljazeera is comparable to CNN in calibre or quality. The only thing that gives it away as having an Arab orientation is its name.

Ok, so I got a little out of line on my last response, my apologies. I can't say I have ever watched enough aljazeera to judge that fact. I do know they don't screen what they show, such as showing the beheading of captives by terrorists. that much I know is a fact.

Yes, but there still should be a line of decency and taste of sorts. Our news agencies show a great deal and some of it borders on out right graphic, but aljazeer seems to go very far beyond that. I guess it's all in whats considered acceptable in a particular country.

As it is all news media screen what they show as a necessity.

Well, I didn't know about that. I thought CNN has it's heaquaters in America and has a american owner.

Yes, they are american owned, but they are among the american news agencies that seem to portray, in a subtle, and sometimes not so subtle way, even it's own nation as inherently evil.
