Look at that arrogant son of a bitch.
I think any 'news organization' that broadcasts a different philosophy to one set of viewers as opposed to another set of viewers isn't rally a news organization at all.
It's an entirely different network run by entirely different people.
JERUSALEM — Media watchers in the Middle East say the Arabic news network Al Jazeera is well known for promoting radical Islamist causes overseas, but it remains to be seen how it will present the news on its newly purchased U.S. cable channel.Itamar Marcus, director of Palestinian Media Watch, an Israeli research institute that studies Palestinian society and the Arab world through their media and educational materials, said there is "a big difference" between Al Jazeera's Arabic programming and its international English-language broadcasts.
"The Arab broadcasts very often promote a very radical Islamist approach," said Marcus.
"What's brilliant," Marcus said, is the way the company "binds this in with all the latest technology and even occasionally interviews with differing opinions, including Israeli leaders." This creates a "perception" of balanced reporting, Marcus said, "but in fact, the overall underlying agenda is very radical."
Daoud Kuttab, the Jordan-based director of the Community Media Network, a Middle East media group, said Al Jazeera's Arabic-language programming "is very different" from its English counterpart.
The tone of the English broadcasts "is much calmer, and the diversity of its reporters and anchors make it a much more international media outlet than an Arabic one."
Asked if Al Jazeera takes sides, Kuttab said it "tries to represent the Arab point of view, just as NBC presents an American point of view when reporting from Afghanistan."
Al Jazeera was begun in 1996 and owned by the emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa, an Arab monarch who has offered support to Hamas, the U.S.-designated terrorist group in Gaza, and presides over an authoritarian regime.
How will Al Jazeera translate in USA?
Who funds it?
Well, there you have it...an arabic POV network, masking its agenda using a FNC template of balance, while promoting a islamist agenda, with a leader from an authoritarian state who supports Hamas as its owner....I thought we already had MSNBC?
That is Al Jazeera not Al Jeezera English like I said before, they are entirely different networks run by different people.

The Emir (King) of Qatar owns Alj English. I'm pretty sure he owns the whole deal. It's a propagada arm of a dictatorship. It's state press, from fundies.
I wish you had the same distinction on Murdocks empire....Oh But you don't like them right?
It's run by entire different people and has different content, Al Jazeera is banned here for hate speech but Al Jazeera English is not. It's a good news organization that tells the truth with minimal bias. The only thing I have watched from them about Qatar is that they like camels. I invite you to go there right now and tell em what you see.

Well Al Jazeera English does not own multiple new sources that most people don't know are owned by them and don't use the money earned to influence politics.
There's only one AlJ, English and whatever, owned by the King and totalitarian dictator of Qatar. I invite you to prove otherwise.
Really? Did the emir recently give $400 million to Hamas? I think he did....Hmmmmm.

Really because that bias doesn't show.
Of course there is different staff. What does that mean?
It's owned by a totalitarian dictatorship, and is obviously a propaganda arm.
Go to the website right now and pull some Qatari propaganda for me.
Hahahahaha
You Muslim?
No thanks. I don't need to jump through hoops to prove that a fundie totalitarian dictatorship is full of crap. You go swim in the sewer, that's not my style.
