We are moving to the point(if we haven’t reached the point) in which Al Jazeera is a more trustworthy source than CNN/MSNBC.
I wonder if anyone in the 1960s and 1970s would believe that 40 years later that on certain stories Radio Moscow would be a more reliable news source than ABC Radio News; or that like the former Soviet Union a majority of the people in the USA would get their news from what is in essence state run media.
We are familair with leads/headlines like
“.. Iran’s state news agency IRNA reported Ahmadinejad the winner’
or “The official Chinese Xinhua News Agency reports that ....
isn’t this just as accurate lead/headline
The Official US Government news agency AP reported Obama’s economic policies saving millions of jobs
I;m finding lately that the Canadian & British sources have been the most reliable of all.
