I don't see a problem with it.

At least their US offices should be safe from errant US military missiles or bombs.

So far the only US outlet is a French owned New York cable company.

Al Jazeera is actually remarkably objective if you consier were they come from. They pump out more objective news to the arabic world than other local channels.

Saudi Arabia and Egypt banned Al Jazeera.

That should atleast speak volumes about their objectivity.

Al jazeera seems that it has become a mouthpiece for Sheikh Usamah Bin-Muhammad Bin-Ladin. They need to do away with that if Al Jazeera wants to audience here in US.

If its supposed to be objective then they air that too.

The same crap is aired here along with the propaganda/news of the western world. I bet every US media has shown Bib Ladens speaches at one time or anothter.

News pushers are above god and politics.

Maybe their slogan could be "anti-semitic, yet peacfull"
