A free and open press is a good thing

A press that is free and open to lie and fabricate information to achieve a political goal is very bad.

How can they claim to be supporting the Iraq  people yet go so out of their way to incite the violence that kills them?

Aiding and abetting your enemy, not theirs.   Doesn't really apply.

Funny thing about Al Jazeera, they are accused by both sides of being the lapdog of the other.

I don't agree with alot of what they do and show, but they are taking the line that they will show it all, good bad or ugly without choosing sides.

Its a free press, though personally I think they are tilting a little and could certainly show some restraint and judgement.

There are few news organizations that are truely fair and balanced.

Al jazeera is way over the top in that the staff print articles in a very blatently biased way.  I have been following their english version website for a while and it's pretty clear to me that they have trouble with fairness.

Well, the war of Propaganda would be very easy to win, if things like this was possible.
Fortunatly, it is not possible.

Here's a thought: maybe if the Americans tried not bombing their offices and killing their staff, Aljazeera would be more inclined to be nicer and more sympathetic to the US side of the story. ;)

There are very very few news organizations that are fair and in my book niether CNN, fox, BBC nore any of the us networks folks qualify.  Pity those folks died but that is a risk of covering combat operations.. for all sides.

here's a thought

following the next terror attack timed after a recent telecast screaming for our heads, the broadcasting stations lose the ability to broadcast

sat dishes and 1000' towers make easy targets

don't need to kill the american hating, terrorist loving raghead broadcasters - just destroy their hardware ...

"...yes... yes, ok.  This just in; our report will be delayed and brought to you in 20 minutes while we bring out ten to fifteen coffins of child size and one or two old crying women for propaganda effect.  We apologize for any inconvenience, back to you, Ted."

Something reminds me about Belgrad TV centre bombed to ashes in 1999... :mad:

"Freedom of press" was long ago turned into a propaganda slogan. It have lost it original meaning along with many other terms used in modern "newspeak".

Propaganda warfare is won not by bombing enemy media stations, but by turning enemy media into your ally.
