Valerie, your last name isn't Plame is it? Heh. I guess you wouldn't be such a frothy-mouthed rabid Republican if it were.

My estimation is that 99% of Americans don't know JACK SHIT about Arabs and just do what their preacher/president tells them to do... Hence the Iraq War.

Al-Jazeera was a voice in the wilderness questioning the human cost of the war from the beginning, because they were out there, near the people. For that, it is valuable.

I can understand why they're controversial. The Arabic name is probably a big turnoff for Americans since 9/11... also some of the materials they broadcast rubbed people the wrong way, and they got associated with the terrorists. But ask yourself if US networks wouldn't do the same thing.

BTW al-Jazeera was started with a lot of ex-BBC people.

P.S. All media are biased in some way.
