You should see Malaysian TV channels ... they are so anti-ISrael. In fact they dont use the word 'Israel'. They use 'rejim tel aviv' (Tel Aviv Regime). Al Jazeera at least give ISraeli to air their opinion to Muslim audience.... but Malaysian media ... NO WAY. If you're a Jew and live in Malaysia, you might be crying seeing our news.

yeah that's right.. i was actually planning to say that... but not about the Malaysian media though.. I've never seen it...
but i have seen Dubai TV and AbuDhabi, they don't say israel at all.. they say "occupied Palestine" instead...
and that's what i like about some of the Arabic media since I my self don't recognize the existence of israel.

But people in the west aren't seeing the truth specially for those who doesn't know any thing about the middle east, which causing them to be against Arabs...

some of them are falling easily in those lies.. CNN is not being honest to their viewer, and that is a serious issue

Well true ! But this can also be said for the arabs, which get systematically brainwashed with the lies from the west, which Al Djazeera spread.
Get your news from a few point of views, then build your own opinion, but please make it balanced. Westeners are not always fair, but same are arabs !

Got it ?

Disagree, you're the one who isn't getting it...
basically Arabs lives over there... they don't need someone to show them whats going on... they can see it with their own eyes or hear it from their families and friends who lives in Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan... etc.

if Al-Jazeera is spreading lies as you are saying... we can tell easily, bcz again our families lives over their.

but people in the west are the one who's brain washed... till this moment, some educated people here in Canada who never have been to any Arab country think that in the middle east people live in a middle of a desert and camels around...

Is it possible that Al-Jazeera would spread lies about the West?

give me examples... lies like what?

CNN and media in the west doesn't show you the full picture of the war in Palestine and Lebanon... not just that... it shows you the picture from the israeli side ONLY... they don't want to risk them selves and show you the other side bcz they can be targeted any time plus they are controlled by the radical American government.

i just wanna know before i see it ...on a scale of 1 to 10 how disturbing is it???

Mine is a hypothetical question. I agree that CNN and other western news sources are probably a bit biased in their ME reports. I think it would be naive to suggest that Al-Jazeera wouldn't be a bit biased in Western coverage as well. Who controls Al-Jazeera?

I'm not here to represent Al-Jazeera or defend it, it is Satellite channel and it's not controlled by any one... and speaking about the western, Aljazeera have an office in Washington and omany western countries, and they have reporters here in Canada.

i find it way better than any other channel, and it shows the facts in real time... i also go to aljazeer.net site and CNN site... i find a HUGE difference, not to mention that millions of people visit aljazeera site every day, which means that Al-Jazeera is a trusted source to millions of people.

I check both sites too. Descrepancies are often found in their reporting. I think both are a bit biased, which is natural.

what bugs me in CNN reports, that they show you that israel is RESPONDING to Hezb Allah... as if they have not attacked Lebanon...

Any way... they are using forbidden weapons to burn civilian people in Lebanon.. that is terrorism...

May Allah help Lebanese to cover their pain and suffering

They are also taking great pains to leave out the fact that Hezbollah only attacked military targets, and Israel responded by attacking EVERYONE.

I don't care if white phosphorous is considered legal - it is definately terrorism.

i don't have tv and i don't listen to commercial radio at all. (or npr - national public radio - also known as national petroleum radio). the only radio i listen to is pacifica radio - a leftist, listener-sponsored network. they do get some gov't money from the national community of broadcasters but the majority is paid for by listener subscribers. unlike npr, there is no corporate underwriting.
i get a lot of my news from the web.
one of the first sites i check out for headlines is:
http://antiwar.com/
it's an australian libertarian site and gets its news from a wide variety of sources

im sorry how do you know its 'brainwashing'' if you havent even seen it??

you cannot comment on any channel you dont watch..and we dont need you to parrot what the US officials have said through all these years.

Aljazeera puts both viewpoints ..it frequently has Israeli politicians on its shows ..it even has Jewish and Israeli employees some of its top reporters on the Palestinian and Lebanese conflict are locals..and many are christian..its a lot different to CNN or BBC..it sides with the oppressed and as the saying of Imam Ali (May Allah be pleased with him) goes 'Truth is on the side of the oppressed'.

www.antiwar.com is an excellent site ..one of the best alternative news sites out there ..another one is www.alternet.org
