4/4 Associated Press article on Yahoo news: http://csua.org/u/c59
"Al-Jazeera is based in the Persian Gulf state of Qatar. It has
received funding by Qatar's government but is an unusually independent
voice in the Arab world."
Does this give Al-Jazeera more credibility?
\_ do you have a point?
\_ I meant people have been saying that Al Jazeera is biased towards
Iraq. Now that AP calls it independent, maybe it is not as
biased as we think?
the Iraq side. Now that AP calls it independent, maybe it is not
as biased as we think?
\_ No. It doesn't say what you think it says. It says it is an
'unusually independent voice in the Arab world' which means
it doesn't necessary spout off the noise from the government
that funds it, but isn't necessarily unbiased. So, no, it
doesn't come across any more neutral than it did before you
mis-read your own posting.
\_ Of course they're biased. Al-Jazeera is based in an Arab
country and their primary audience are Arabs.
\_ So our US media are all biased too?
\_ All media is biased. Some is more biased than others.
\_ More than what? NPR? Fox News?
\_ Than the motd.
\_ The motd is the final authority on all things.
\_ No it isn't. (hah! now you go into a Kirkian Logic Loop!)
