An inconvenient truth. Now we can get objective news of the Arab world right in our home.

Freedom of speech should not be only for those that say what you want to hear. It may be inconvenient for you, but that is why you live in America, you have thousands of channels you can swith to that broadcast your flavor.

It is what it is...

Jim:
I view Al-Jazeera occasionally on my KU Band receiver and I think most people in the US would be surprised at how much objective and good reporting is done by them. It's not the evil propaganda machine many think. I won't say it's my favorite channel, but it gives an interesting perspective and often gets interviews from places no one else can.
