In Other News.... - Page 3

Living in the West, it's good to at least have something on the other side of the construct to put on the scales, cause God knows 'we' aren't being told everything....

This doesn't seem to be so much news for a group or side of the world, rather they are presenting the news of the World from a Middle Eastern vantage and that is hardly an unfair bias...

What/If ever they are trying to do .... I can't tell or see that it's bad at all through my time viewing them. It's not suggesting violence or painting anyone evil.

The only bias they seem to have it not holding back or playing favourites.

IMO, it's publicity will help set a standard for what is News and what is Rhetoric.

But I gotta say, when that CNN live feed IS up, it totally takes the cake. Sorry Al Jazeera.

yea but then CNN live feeds go away and they back to doing respectable fluff
