I read The Gulf News (from Dubai) pretty regularly.I've been to Dubai and found it to be surprisingly modern and open place.....for a moslem country.Of course one must consider the accuracy of what they print in spite of the comparative “modernity” of the country in which they're located.

This is a joke, right? If not, the outrage should be deafening. It won’t, of course. That kind of outrage is reserved for corporations having the nerve to turn a profit or pay bonuses. Welcome to Amerika.

Does the programming include wife beatings, beheadings, lack of honor killings, and an islamic cartoon about world domination that feature two mice in Middle Eastern garb saying, “What are we going to do tonight, Bahrain?”

“Same thing we do every night, Greenie*”

*Refers to the colour of islam rather than enviro-Socialism

My sister-in-law and husband are to the left of Stalin and they get their news only from AL JAZEERA. They say Al Jazeera is the only one that tells the truth.

They know I am a prepper and told me the only concern they have about the USA is global warming that could affect food growing and if that happened, they would move to California where food could still be grown. I don't argue with them about any of this because, in the past when these subjects come up, they get loud and she starts screaming her position (she has usually been drinking when this is the worst). Presenting my position is useless so I don't do it anymore.

Are they captured by the big banks like the rest of the US media? If not, might be worth a watch.

“Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sent ripples through the American press establishment last week when she commended Al Jazeera, long depicted as a media manifestation of Middle East extremism, for doing a better job than many American media outlets at covering the revolutions in the Arab world.”
http://turnstylenews.com/2011/03/08/wadah-khanfar-and-the-al-jazeera-moment/

“Al Jazeera played an early and influential role in covering — some would say encouraging — the unrest in Tunisia and Egypt last winter. It was even more aggressive in its focus on the regime of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi and the struggles of what it called “freedom fighters” in Libya, where Qatar came to play a major role in supporting the rebellion.”
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/21/world/middleeast/after-disclosures-by-wikileaks-al-jazeera-replaces-its-top-news-director.html?_r=0

The Director General (WADAJ KHANFAR) of the network had to step down because of his lies. He met with Hillary last year in Qatar. He’s a member of the International Crisis Group (Soros funded)

It’s becoming a global conglomerate and a mouthpiece for the left and their islamic friends.

I've watched Al Jzra when I was over there. It's just one way to get a different perspective for international stories, like with the BBC. I did detect an anti-US bias but that was almost refreshing in a way because it wasn't political party specific. They just don't like the US, period. It'll be interesting to see the anchor line up.

Agreed. I try to look behind the propaganda to get facts. Can't get any on US media. Prime Interest is good if you can get past the incredibly unprofessional presenters.

If you can force yourself to scan down to read the caption, it's interesting.

He is the biggest economic traitor to the USA ever.
If all the cap n trade taxes and global warming regulations went through it would cost $700 trillion. Probably making Gore the first trillionaire with his carbon credit scam.

Be honest

I like Al Jazeera English news I developing a liking to it when Egyptian uprising in 2011 and KCET was play it round the clock for few weeks during that time

It really straight internatinoal news

It run by people who at CNN internatniaonl, BBC world news, SKY news ITN world and other news orgnaaition

Trust me I doubt they hear of Lindsey Lohan or Kardarain family they don’t have time for that
